200-210 is about what you are going to see unless you want to install a 160 thermostat, larger radiator and have the engine calibration modified to have the fan come on earlier and at a higher percentage value.

The engine has a 160 DEGREE thermostat with a modified tune, and the fan is programed to start earlier and longer, the car produces 510 RWHP with automatic transmission, by the way you a beautiful setup

Methanol injection won't lower your engine running/cruising temps. To lower your cruising temps it is simply a matter of removing the heat from the engine coolant. Methanol/alcohol will do nothing for this. Compounding your scenario is the automatic transmission cooler inside the radiator. If you want to lower your cruising engine temps you'll need a better/more efficient radiator than the stock GM radiator.

The fan and thermostat assist with the low speed portion of keeping the temps in check. The next step would be to upgrade from the stock radiator to something more efficient such as the "Dewitts". The supercharger places a large heat exchanger in front of the radiator so not only have you added more heat for the stock radiator to displace from the extra horsepower, you've also reduced the efficiency of the stock radiator by partially obscuring it with the supercharger heat exchanger.

The dewitts does help but make sure you dont have another problem first. I ran 2 years with my eforce and stock rad at 600 hp with no issues.

I agree with all this and just did a dewitts myself. One thing to check is that debris has not accumulated in front of the condensor or rad. This is quite common also and will effect cooling.
