I first noticed this on baseline dyno testing where the engine was constantly pulling timing because of coolant temp.
Can some of you autox and track guys run an OBD2 check on yours?
Keep in mind the temp gauge in the car does not move from middle whether its 190 to 220.

Just looked at one of my videos that I had the ECT displayed on. 183. The first thing I would do is test the ECT sensor on your car. There should be a procedure for testing it with a specific resistance at a specific temperature. It's possible the sensor is not providing an accurate reading. There really isn't any reason your car should be running that hot unless something isn't right. I may be wrong of course. If the ECT sensor is cheap enough and easy to replace, it might even be worthwhile to swap it and see what happens.
