I tried the thermostat in hot water and it seemed to open and close just fine. idk..I felt the coolant hoses off the radiator when it was warmed up and they felt pretty stiff. All the hoses were pretty hot like they would be at during normal operating temp. I'm wodering if i just fried the sensor for the gauge.
I'll try taking out the thermostat again and check it out.

have you checked the sensor to the gauge to see if the connection between the connector and the sensor is firm and tight? i have seen issues asise from loose connections and getting weird readings

Well actually I just replaced the sensor along with the thermostat from my old engine.
Now the temp runs at about a 1/4 or lower. If i boost it climps up to about 3/8 the way then will rapidly drop back down after i let of the gas. Maybe it's my slim fans that I have on there? Both seem to be turning on at the same time.
