Just seems odd to me that only one spot the water temp is this hot and that is at the temp probe in the intake. Thxs for any advice.

Most of your problem lies with your pulley set-up!!!!!!!!!!! For anything but all out racing your crank pulley should be at minimum the same diameter as your water pump pulley or 1 to 2 inches LARGER in diameter...........you want to overdrive your water pump by 15 to 25% for street driving.......
Ditch the underdrive pulleys and you'll see your problem disappear........
