Since you have edit I would do a few things. Buy a 160 degree thermostat and see if that helps. Be sure to adjust your fan activation points with the new thermo. If that does not work try switching back to your old pulley. Your car may not like the underdrive affect. Since you have a 2001 make sure you are not going by the dash guage either, you need to check temps using a scan tool b/c the dash gauge sucks.
