Donnie,
I assume your running a "stock" temp gauge.
I 1st advice is to get a good aftermarket gauge (VDO,Auto Meter ect).

The reason is the stock gauge are not really that accurate and asking if "it 's centered" doesn't give a good indication of ture temp.

Center could be anywhere from 180 to 220 degs F depending on the gauge,thus if we say that "looks good" we could be wrong.
