    Under normal conditions I get about 165°F. Doesn't go much higher if I race around a bit, I have a high flow thermostat and a good radiator core and cap. It reaches the temperature in about 2 minutes if I drive raound normally, faster if I race it. I guess it would go higher with a warmer thermostat... But do I want to go higher? That's the question...
