Not Ranked
Raise the idle 15% a 650 idle becomes 750. 700 becomes 800... If the problem goes away then the pullies are the problem. If not then look elsewhere.
Most idle over heating problems are the result of inadaquate airflow. Which fan are you using? What does it flow? is it shrouded? I had the same problem with the same components. Changing the fan was the ticket. I use the black magic from flexalite. It is rated at 2800 cfm and keeps my 12:1 SO at 180 degrees on a cool day and about 190 on a warm day. For kicks I took it out last summer in 112 degree heat. It went to 205 but was far from overheating.
