This is good. What is the temperature rating of your thermostat? I had a 160-degree thermostat and my gauge rarely registered over 160, except it did climb to about 185/190 on a 105-degree day in stop and go traffic. Now I have a 180-degree thermostat and the gauge only reaches the half-way point between 160 and the 190 mark.
You might want to bleed your cooling system again to free any trapped air now that you've driven it a bit.
Cheers!
