update: bled the system out completely and thoroughly, got it up to 200*. went at ate dinner, came back down drove it around it sat at 180-190 most of the drive, which is a lot better given the fact it didnt climb above 200 when driving, it was also cold air outside.
when i parked it in front of my house and sat there for 3-4 minutes it hit 200 and was climbing still. i picked up a water pump from jersyboyy and will most likely be putting it in over the weekend...unless there is another simple step i can take before i start ripping stuff apart.
here are some pics of the pulley system
call the photo police...i suck at taking pictures...
