Agree with jpelli. 200-210 is ok. OEM runs hotter than that.
Running hotter at speed indicates that there is unsufficient venting of hot air from the engine compartment.Last edited by techinspector1; 05-26-2008 at 01:27 PM.

200 Not hot. 210 Not Hot, 220 Warm, but not hot. Get your A/C and enjoy life and stop worrying about your temps. When you hit 235, start worrying.
If you would rather worry, check your thermostat, add a stroud to your fans, make sure your coolant is 50/50, add louvers to your hood, and add a water wetter if you have money to burn (water wetter may not do anything for you, but will give you an ounce more confidence that you are doing everything you can).
