You have water that is 230 degrees in the block and water that is 130 in the radiator, you have a flow problem. Either there is a physical obstruction in the block preventing the water from leaving or the pump is inadequate to move the water out of the radiator into the block.

Those are my exact thoughts. I would pull the thermostat and check the flow with a garden hose. ( with the car off)

That's what I have been kind of thinking but I see it circulating thru the radiator. Just may not be enough. I don't know what to do if it is slow flow as I stated before its a fresh build and the block was tanked and cleaned at the machine shop. I will try to check the flow more closely and try to figure out if it is enough.
