    ...at idle or cruise.

    WFO blasts can raise the temperature.

    Yes, I have always noticed that at the track. First thing I do is look at all my gauges in the shut down section of the track. Temp is usually around 195 but rapidly decreasing.

    Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks, all, for the replies.

    You've given me some good maintenance to do right now and some good ideas for (not too distant) future upgrades. I really appreciate it!

    Listen to Larry! He helped me to get my 210 degree 464 GSX Stage 1 down to 170 and it never goes above 185!
    Thanks Larry.
