Is it normal that cruising temps are at 200-206? Im running a cxracing radiator, stock tstat(oreilly's) and stock fans. It seems the tstat is the culprit cause it doesnt matter if the ambient temps are 70* or 95*, its still the same. Should i opt for a cooler tstat or am i ok at these temps? During pulls yesterday i saw it hit 219, but never get higher than that. That was when i was really getting on it pumping out 35lbs/min of airflow.:rocks:
 
A stock radiator and fans are also more effiecient than an aftermarket aluminum radiator too. I noticed a slight increase when changing mine out. I also run Link and have my fans on all the time to help out. My coolant cruising now is around 190 with a 50/50 mixture.
