Default Strange Temp Behavior

Last last couple of mornings, when I've started driving the car, the temperature gauge comes up to temp more quickly than normal, and continues to about 240-245 deg. The mornings have been cool (65-70 deg), and this even happens in 5th or 6th gear, so the rpms are low.

I'll wait until I know it's at temp, and then I rev the engine pretty well (usual drop a gear and punch it). The gauge then drops to the expected temp range (200-205 deg) it normally runs at, and works fine after that.

'02 vert, intake, ported throttle body, exhaust...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

Sounds like maybe you need to add some coolant, or you have air in the system.
