Where should my temp gauge be?
I was wondering how hot is too hot. Halfway? 2/3? It seems my car is running a little warmer since the weather heated up, wondering how high it can go without risk of overheating and blowing the engine. Thanks,
Justin

On my 87 n/a it never gets to 1/2, even with the a/c on. Usually about 1/3 for me. Anything more than that, and it's time to start worrying. The more performance mods you add, the hotter the car will run, so keep that in mind. Part of the upgrade process should be a hi-cap radiator.
