Still hotter than I'd like!

86' 8V, flushed cooling system, new water pump, 82degree thermostat and lower temp fan relay. Filled system with 40% Zerex Z06 / Redline Water Wetter mix 60% water. The temp gauge still rises to 3/4 way up, fans kick in and drops to about 1/2, just like it was doing BEFORE I changed them!
I have let it idle in the NC heat for as long as 15 minutes and the system has worked perfectly, but will it handle 97 degree summer traffic??
Why doesnt it run cooler with all the new parts?! I bought all the parts from FCP Groton, CT (a good source), but the thermostat did not have the air vent.
Thanks to all.
