I think running the clutch fan as well as a pusher and puller electric fan could be hurting you more than helping. That fan in the front of the radiator isn't doing anything but blocking that air that the air dam is pushing up - get rid of it. Also, where do you have the other electric fan mounted? the fan shroud for the clutch fan should cover the entire radiator. If that isn't properly in place, then the clutch fan isn't effectively pulling air through the radiator, and that would be another major cause of overheating.

Final point - in the weather we have been having the last few days I wold expect a car with a stock 195* thermostat to jump to operating temp (approx. 210) pretty fast. That doesn't mean that it's gonna overheat.
