I pulled over for a quick temp reading:

With the temp gun I read 194* at top tank and 187* at bottom tank. 7* difference

Temp gauge in head read 200* and 185* at the water pump. 15* difference

I don't know if that's enough of a change, it doesn't seem like it to me
Joe I agree. Not even close to enough difference. Radiator should pull more temp out.
