I'm usually at about 190 which I like for an optimal combustion. At idle I'm steady, but I attribute that more to my EWP. At cruise in 6th gear, my temp will creep down to 170 or even 165 on the highway. Even when it's 115 outside and I'm in stop and go traffic with the AC on, it never gets above 195-200.
My fender air extractors are functional tho and I have the proper lower air baffle installed, factory filler panels on the rad support, weather stripping between my rad and support, and the factory air diversion flaps for the side of the radiator. I'm running a 12 core C&R radiator as well so YMMV.
