Default engine temp a little hot

my buddy replaced my new 180 stat with a new 180 stat cause my truck was running 200 intown and hittin 225 -230 in the highway. Well my thermostat housing was leaking . hum? Its brand spanking new, I guess I didnt tighten it enough on install. Any way I've yet to run on the highway duringthe day. But temps have been at a hair shy of 200 consistantly. I was hoping for cooler temps running that t-stat and 2 efans. What kind of temps should I expect with a .020 over motor. I'm in South Texas by the way.
