Note: The fresh water cooling system does have a steel wool filter prior to the return to the hx.

I assume this means it is in the coolant side, not the raw water side. If so, I would remove it. There is no need for a filter in the coolant loop, and it will provide some additional obstruction. My experience with Moyer's FWC conversion kit is that it runs at 180 because it is reaching steady-state with the maximum cooling that the HX can handle. The thermostat is open all the time and is not really doing much about regulating. Any additional obstruction in the
cooling quickly results in higher temps at cruise RPM.
