Default Running Temp.

Hey folks,

Another question. My car is not running an accessory fan currently. The car is running at about 215 and about 225-230 with the AC running. Whats the ideal temp for a daily driver? I'm thinking of either adding a higher cfm puller fan or a secondary pusher fan. What are your thoughts? The vehicle is equipped as follows..

1986 Vette , 6spd Richmond, Airflow Research Aluminum angle plug Heads, Roller Hydraulic cam and lifters, aluminum intake, 670 Holley Avenger, Headers, MSD Ignition, Aluminum high volume water pump, aluminum BeCool Radiator.

Sounds like normal to me in slow traffic but should run around 190-200 on the highway.
