I start looking to cool it down if it gets 230°+. 210° on the highway running 3500+ rpm isn't uncommon for my car. It cools down the slower I go usually, unless I'm stuck in stop and go for a while. Probably needs more water pump, but the $600 one from Meziere is my only option now. Have a BIG radiator and a fan that moves a LOT of air on it.
I got it up to 255° one time when I first put the hemi in the car...didn't hurt a thing.
