    My wife had an 81 Corvette it ran 220 I thought that was too hot, she called a Chevy dealer and they said it was normal. Check with a Chevy dealer and give them the engine numbers. On my 86 Elcamino the red area is 200 to 225. I would not want my street rod running at 225. Might add another electric fan to help bring it down.
