I typically see temps around the 205 degree range. Temperatures here in the Pacific NW have been in the high sixties to low seventies for the past week...

Yeah, me too. I am in the 200 to 210 range, when outside temps are in 80s and low 90s.

I rarely drive my car on the street, so I dont really pay to much attention there. On the track, however. I saw 304 at my race a month ago. I added a small 12 row cooler and it dropped to 270. At my last race.
