After a hot soak such as 20 mi at highway speed.

Coolant = 205
Oil temp = 215
Oil Pressure = 30-40

These are what my 95 lt1 w 46k run at.

My cruising temperatures are about the same regardless of the ambient temperature (note, I just did a full cooling system flush, 50/50 with coolant enhancer):

coolant temp 194-198 F
oil temp 205-215 F
oil pressure between 40-50lbs anywhere around 2000rpm
