Motor running hot? 210 Degrees!

I just put some new summit racing gauges in my truck and it seems that my water temp is running around 210 degrees. The motor is a 250ci. I replaced the thermostat and checked inside my radiator and it looks real clean inside. It does have 2 small damaged spots on it about 1inch in size. Ive seen ones in worse shape that still work fine so i dont think its that. The antifreeze might be a little on the strong side, i dont think it has much water mixed with it. I did not put it in so im not sure about that. Would that make it run hot? It also doesnt have a fan shroud, but i havent seen a stock fan shroud on a 250ci before. Did they come with one? Would an after market fan help? Dont really want to buy a new radiator if i dont have to. Thanks for any help guys.
