Your normal operating temps should be around 190 to 200.
Anything above 220 and you had better keep an eye on the gauge and the side of the road. You should not see 220 unless you've been driving the snot outa your car, or have cooling issues.

those numbers are for when you're driving right? i get readings around 85C - 88C w/ the pfc but when i'm idle, it can jump all the way to 100C... is this normal? what kind of temps should i be seeing when i'm sitting idle in traffic (no fan mod yet so no air flow 
).

temp
run 220-230 in stop and go driving and when I get on it. 200-220 when i'm driving around. i turn the fan onto the 4 postion and the temp will drop around 20 degrees. i have been told this is all normal. as you can see i have upgraded a lot to insure i'm not hurting the engine
