I just put my car back on the road after a year long build, I replaced both coolant sensors for the ecu and the guage, I'm running link and according to my logging, my car averages 210-213 and up to 223 was the highest I've ever seen, but it cools back down quickly from that temp.
The dash guage never goes above a little bit below half, I'm just wondering if I'm walking a thin line on running temps that warm? Everything is new with cooling system except the fans and the heater core
My next move is to put a aftermarket radiator or swap out the hood for a aftermarket with vents.
Any advice?
 
Appreciate the link, the only thing I worry about installing vents is making my car a fair weather only driver, because it rains very often here
