But dont get it to cool because the warmer it runs the more mpg and HP you will get. I like to see most of my motors run @ 200 deg. when the thermostat opens. But you also want to make sure it dont get to hot...........you get to 225 then it's getting hot. I know I'll probably get backlash from this but.........thats just my opinion.

No backlash from me. Smoky Yunik said in his book that the most power was made right around 200 F, and I believe him. Of course you do want your intake air as cool as you can get it (within reason).
