Jon,

I have posted this before, but here goes one more time. 
It can only be one of two things. First air flow, second 
water flow. If your car is only running 215 degrees, 
that is not hot, just starting to make horse power at 
that temp. However I understand why you don't want to
run it on the street at that temp. <;-)
Take it our to a road where you can run a constant 
speed for about a mile or so, and be able to pull over. 

First get it up to temp, drive at about 45MPH - 
depending on your rear end gear - you want 
to pick a speed that you can shift down a gear 
and maintain that speed - if it heats up while driving 
at a constant speed in high gear, shift down one gear,
keep the same speed, and see if the temp goes up or 
down. If it goes up then you have a water flow problem, 
if it goes down, then you have an air flow problem. 

We learned this method back in the 60's.
