At those temps it shouldn't be puking. 260, maybe, but after shutting off more than likely.

So my first thought is you have a faulty gauge or wrong sending unit?

Do you have a temp gun to verify the temps in and out of the radiator? Sometimes a low temp t-stat wont let the coolant stay in the radiator long enough to cool off.

You don't have a goofy aftermarket serpentine or belt system running the pump backwards do you?

What compression ratio are you running?

Is your timing set up correct and plugs look good and not running way lean?

Just a few more ideas for you.
