Engine running hotter than normal

Engine running hotter than normal
I have a complete bolt on LS1, and i was running the stock catback off an ORY with a cutout. Even since selling my catback and running right off the ORY, my engine temp is higher when driving. The temp was usually about 3/4 of the way to the midline between 160 and 210. It now sits usually right under the midline, and when on the highway usually goes over it by a millimeter or two? I didnt think having it dumped 2 feet shorter than normal would have caused this, but i dont know. There are no changes in performance, just where the needle is sitting. It also fluctuates alot, changing temp every few minutes, usually when i get on it. But the weird thing is even in 6th gear at 1800 rpms on the highway it still runs hotter than when on city streets. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I just changed my oil few weeks back, using royal purple. One guy on another forum mentioned i may have used too much oil when cleaning my filter, and that it might be messing with my MAF. he said use some electrical cleaner and clear it up....
