ECMlink Check engine light

[TK9er]

Hey, hopefully a quick and easy question. I was just wondering what people are setting their check engine light to come in ecmlink. I feel like my car is running hot. Brand new engine, new radiator, nothing crazy power wise. And it likes to get hot when it isn't moving. And by hot I mean 200. Now I did some looking and it seems like this isn't a huge deal, but my cel is set to come on at 200. Also, I do have a heat shield coming, so that might help. I was just curious what other people's setup is.

What thermostat do you have? I've read at 206 degree the car pulls timing, 200 you should be fine. You could get a 180 Thermostat and that would help if you don't already.

Here are my settings.
Glad to share. Not set in stone but work for me.

Thanks! And, as for the moment my gauge doesn't work, but I have an oil temp/psi gauge. The temps should be close right? I have just been using link to monitor my temps as I break it in.

It's completely normal for the car to operate at that temp.

If you hit anywhere from 200-206 in stop and go I wouldnt worry about it. But if your hitting that on the highway I would be concerned .

I have my cel to come on for knock 2*, and 200-206 at a stop is normal. Should go down from there when the fan turns on.
