With the shroud up tight and rich mixture I am now getting warmer when idling but not hot (like 200 vs 220).
Have you verified temps with an IR temp gun? Maybe your sending unit and old temp gauge are not quite accurate.

FWIW, I run a 190* (or 195*, I forget) T-stat and my gauge reads lower than yours, nearly half-way to the next mark towards the left. Not saying mine is accurate either...
