Tony,
Your temp seems a little high to me.
I would check and see if your water pump is the correct year[new serpentine pumps run backwards]
The easiest way to check this is to loosen your rad cap ,when engine is cool, and start engine. Place rags around cap and slowly lift off and see if water is being pumped towards rad when thermostat opens.,if not then you have the wrong pump.
Another thing to check is the heater hoses. Do you have a manual or vacuum valve inline? If not then the water circulation will bypass the rad and heat the engine also.
Good Luck,
Perry.
