UPDATE:

We installed the Felx-A-Lite dual fan kit last night and did some longer run times to see what the car's temp got to. I tested it before I drive a few blocks and after. The temps stayed consistant and I have determined that it has to be that I have the incorrect temp sensor installed. I didn't get a reading above 170 and we could tell based on other temps across the engine when the T-STAT opened and was working.

Now I just need to find an electric water temp gauge to use until I can buy my Blitz BLM gauge so I can know if we really do get hot.
