Welcome to CHR. If your radiator is sized right and shrouded right then your temperature is going to be controlled by the thermostat, within the accuracy of the particular stat. Also your coolant temp indication is going to depend on the location of your gauge sending unit. What temperature t-stat are you running? Where is your gauge sending unit mounted? If it is consistent at 210-220F it sounds like it's fine.
