Temp Guage reading a bit high ?

Hello all back again after a while, picked up another FC this year 107k miles NA sport model. Was wondering is this a little too hot still or? I know the 86-88s are supposed to tech sith between a 8th and 4th of the way up for operating temps. I replaced the water pump, new thermostat flus3hd and cleaned the system out, washed off the rad and condenser and bled or air. Mind you the undertrays are not on yet ik those are important as well with cooling. Is this a bit too high or normal? Hot and cold starts no issues, no white smoke or anything.

Looks normal for an S4 to me.. Your voltage does look a bit low but I'd test with a proper meter before trusting the dated gauge assembly.

Absolutely want the undertray and fan shroud on.
