Temp too high ?

IMHO

Thermostat temp to 220 would be normal.
If using a stock gauge, center to just left of center would be "normal"

ideling in gear (assuming automatic) a few ticks to the right of center.


QUESTION...

Does your temp just keep rising or does it stabilize at some temp ideling in gear.


Assuming you have a matched cooling system.

1. Water pump is the correct one for the pulleys. ie. Water pump is for AC cooling and pulleys are also sized for AC cooling.
2. Fan is sized correctly and for the propper cooling level as the WP and pulleys
3. Radiator is sized correctly for the cooling level (or larger)
4. Shroud, fan blade spacing, etc
