Pulled it into the shop and let it idle for 5 minutes and it hovered at 200. I think the overflow being empty when I started this journey was causing air to get into the system? The overflow is staying 3/4 full, no bubbling back and it seems to be much more stable. I still need to test it more, but I think I'm on the right track. I am thankful for all the help. I'll keep you all posted. Andrew, I'm waiting on the connector to do the PWM, so I'll be in touch soon...
I'm still curious. With the car sitting still idling once it gets hot, if you bring the RPM's up to 2k+ with the car not moving does it cool off again?
