Where is you temp sensor connected too? Is it going into the head?
Take the thermostat completely out and see what happens. You could have something simple like the wrong housing or thermostat so that there is some interference and the thermostat is not opening completey.
What is the brand and the part number of the intake and heads your running? With this much of an issue are your certain the water jackets bewteen the intake and heads are lined up correctly? Could you have a 400 block or heads and you need the steam holes drilled?
Or, you could have a later model intake and early heads or something? Been a few years, but some intakes needed the water passages blocked or left open with certain heads and you could either get intake gaskets with or without the passages? Did you make sure all the openings matched between the intake/intakegasket/heads/head gaskets/block?

hey man thanks for the interest. before i answer the questions just know EVERYTHING on this car is pretty much aftermarket.
the temp sensor plugs into the intake, it doenst give me a problem im pretty sure its a fairly accurate read-out. and i base this on absolutely nothing lol, but its good.
the thermostat is brand new i dont see how it could be giving me problems but i will try that tomorrow, i warmed up the car today before i saw this post and the coolant is still almost 200*.
the heads are aftermarket world sportman II's...definately made for a 350 block...its a holley intake manifold, not sure on part numbers. all the water jackets should match up with the heads and intake...
