I live in Texas and after supercharging I noticed my coolant temps went up to about 207* sitting at idle. I vented my hood and noticed my coolant temps went down to 199-200* sitting at idle. While cruising my coolant stays between 188-189*.

I would run 175-220+ in Hawaii. I had it up over 250 because my fan quite working. As long as the number goes back down when you start moving.

My LS2 runs around 210. My car runs around 180-185 but i have no AC condenser blocking the radiator just my intercooler. normal operating range is 180-250 at 250 the overheat light will come on.
