Under load, my coolant temps get up to 215, and they'll drop down in to the 170s at light cruise. At idle, it bounces around between 195 and 210 as the fan cycles on and off. All of this is with around 75* outside temps. Obviously, most of this would change if it was 30* or 110* outside. Anyway, that's what I recall.

Just keep in mind that too cool is bad.

Could you expound on this a little? The highest I've seen is mid 200* temps under load with a FMIC and the fans running a la DSMLink.

Motor Oil dosent give full protection untill around 180 degrees

Plus the ecu doesnt go into closed loop untill a certain temp.

there are plenty of things you can do to controll coolant temps, colder thermostat 52mm 160-195 rite from pepboys, you can drill small holes in the thermostat to bleed hot coolant past before it pushes the thermostat open, add stronger fan(s), just don't put one fan in front of the other
