It sounds like you possibly have some air trapped in the system...this write-up has an excellent method for bleeding air from the system:

Hope this helps...

Did you take the time to burp the air out, or did you just fill it up with coolant and go?

No. You just need to bleed the system. It sounds like you have some air trapped.
I used the same method used in the write up above. Really easy and did not take long.

the stock gauge won't tell you if your running cooler than where its at. It'll only tell you if it runs hotter. the 98s will tell you though not anything after that as far stock gauges
