Man, the first time I saw my car going over 200 degrees, I was getting nervous, then 210....220... I think the highest I ever saw was 228, so right after the fans turned on. As stated, definitely not the norm for someone who had older V8's and liked seeing the temp around 180. Since then I've had the fans reprogramed to come on low at.....not actually sure... I think 190? Or where ever the thermostat is set for, and high at 15 degrees after that. I still have to blow out my radiators from the back. Apparently that helps a TON on our cars as they such up a lot of debris from the road.
