I think that my current set up is an issue with bleeding the air out of the system. I have my header tank mounted up high on the firewall, but the tap that feeds it is probably 4" or so below the top of the 90 degree bend coming out of the top of the thermostat housing feeding to the radiators. I really need some way to bleed out that air.

I have two water temp sensors. Today with ac on, 70 mph, 95F outside, 500'msl, 212F sustained (ac turns on electric fans as well)-nowhere near your power output in flight! Getting those temps down probably means a bigger radiator, better airflow, and bigger fans. Gurgling in the FD means you have air in the system, burp it well (bleed air at the highest point in the system off somewhere while filling it, this is a critical FD step).
