I even checked the timing. Im running BBK storty headers, BBK H pipe, JMAC Catback, chipped with 3.73 gears and AOD with 2400 RPM stall converter..... Any advice out there, its an Auto Meter temp gauge could it be bad.

take a look at the water pump?

Look to see if there is any water around the weep hole on it. That is probably the culprit. Easy to replace too!

I was having heating issues on my coupe, so I replaced the fan with a Black Magic, the water pump, new aluminum rad and dropped in a 180 thermostat. Not sure exactly what the problem was, but I fixed it.
