What temps do you run?

Here outside temp are already in the 90's. The car is running around 210 with a/c running and 1hr-1.5hr for mix driving city and interstate. Does this sound about right?

Thats what my autometer says even with the sherman tank radiator in it. Kinda bothers me a little though.

my car does that too. i have electric fans, griffin radiator, electric waterpump, a 160 thermostat, and it still reaches 190-200. it really pisses me off. car runs good though, except for my tfi problem (another post), but why is this.
