Just bought my BlaZeR2 a couple weeks ago, noticed it runs with the temp gague at the mark right below 210. It gets there and stays there, doesn't move any higher or lower. What do you guys think?

180 degrees is normal.
Sounds like yours is running fine.

Get a Chilton/Haynes manual and follow their routine maintenance for the cooling system to make sure everything is up to par.

You might want to a 180 degree Powerstat made by Hyoertech that will get you a bit lower. Very easy to change just buy the 180 degree thermostat and follow the simple instructions.
