I agree, man, we're just trying to help you figure this beast out. While I don't believe you will hurt anything running 210-225F (my Jeep is redlined at 260F!!!) if you're running a 180F stat something's wrong. Are you dead sure that your water pump is good, and that the impeller is not loose or damaged? It really sounds like a low coolant flow problem to me if you are indeed running that hot at speed on the open road. The fan shroud & fan help you when you're stopped or moving too slow to force air through the radiator, not on the open road. I'm leaning to a water pump problem, or air trapped in the system - just having it apart does not ensure the system is filled. If it's got a point to trap air the air bubble can impede your coolant flow. Hard to tell without laying eyes on your system layout, or pictures.
