The actual gas blower is 4 tons and should be enough, but the force at the end is weak. Were you able to get a better air flow?
The propeller fans are nearly useless. The backward inclined booster fans work well.
But it sounds like you have a bad duct design.
If the ducts are accessible enlarging the trunk and branch duct will improve the air flow.
Remember, Air Conditioning begins with AIR.
