Just as long as you don't get over 300; I think you are good to go.

I run 182-210 - nice and cool - but then I have an oil cooler!

I am finishing up my car with a Ron Davis rad and integrated oil cooler. I'll post back when I have some information on how cool it runs. Previously I was seeing 210-230 without beating on the car that much, so I am hoping now that I see about 200 at idle/cruise and maybe 230-240 while beating on the car.

230 - 270 on a roadcourse for me, depending on a cool day or a hot day
Normal road driving I range anywhere from 200-225
