Default What is a decent temp?

I just put a cold case radiator and 12” fans in my 70 GTO. Extremely happy with the product, this is the second rad I have ordered from them.

Here is my question- what temp are you happy with driving around?

As a test to see how it did I took it out today since it was 95 and I went through a chick fil a drive through. I figured that would be a great test for it.

Quickly went to 180/190 then when I sat in the drive through it got to about 205, 210 by the time I was done. Drove a few miles home and it stayed at 210.

I guess since it didn’t go down on the drive home with additional flow I should expect it to peak around 210.

Being that I live in Houston I have the fans wired up to be on with the ignition. At a humid 95 deg I’m pretty happy with 210 in a drive through.

What are your thoughts?
