Headers Installed, temps seem high?
Just had headers installed last week. Driving home in heavy traffic I noticed my oil temp at 230, coolant temp at 219. I have a electric water pump, only about a year old.
Last summer My coolant temp never went above 200, Do these temp seem right?

Seems normal to me. My 02 sees 230 water temps in stop-n-go traffic, though never saw the oil get that high, ~210 max here.
Maybe with the new headers, your right foot was testing the new power which increased the temps?

very true, but today I was in stop and go traffic and no chance to get on it. 
Maybe the t-stat is sticking. I dont like the oil temp. (230)
