They came with the new radiator. And they are supposed to outperform the stock fans.

Buy, borrow, or rent an IR gun and see which gauge is actually right.

Before you spend any more money, you need to see what is actually going on.

What does it say if you measure the back of the head where the OEM temp sensor is located? (I assume you measured @ the thermostat housing previously?)

Hmmm did you/previous owner ever run radiator stop-leak in it? My buddy had that stuff clog up everything in his cooling system including the jacket in the engine... was a nightmare to clean out... you could see the buildup right behind the thermostat on his.

On a side note, I added some louvers and they help out but I was not overheating at all when driving.. only when sitting

Nope. It looks clean for what i saw with the water pump and the thermostat off.
