SS operating temp
#7
the thermostat will open at around 195 degrees so the temperature of the engine should be around that too so low 200s and upper 190s is normal. when i put my foot in it for a while mine will get up to about 210 or so

When I drove to Calif. at the end of June it was about a 110 degrees out and while going over the grapevine my temp went as high as 226 degrees, thats a ton from what it normally runs here, I dont think I've seen it hit 200

Rainman: Going up the "Vine" would build a little more heat than we normally see in the engine. Thats a pretty steep grade and quite long. I think 226 would be about right, and nothing to worry about. Probably droped on the downside pretty quick, I would imagine. "Moon"
