Is 195-200 degrees too hot? Why is the temp not dropping if the therm. is working? Could it be the coolant?
Any thoughts or advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I live in GA also, and my car did the exact same thing you describe. You didnt list your mods, but I had trouble keeping mine cool on hot days due to the power I was making, and running a stall speed converter, tranny cooler, etc...
Your temps arent to high, but if its running hotter than the stat. temp. now, you might have problems this summer when its treally hot.
Check and clean your cooling system.
