Charlie,
Many things effect the cooling of an engine. What water pump do you have? Radiator?, etc.

I have a 351w, edelbrock alum pump, afco racing radiator, 180 thermostat and Derale spiral blade 16" fan. I am also running -16AN hoses, top and bottom.

The fan is off most of the time and the car runs at 165. In traffic it creeps up and I hit the fan switch. On a really hot day, in traffice with the fan on, it will creep to 200 but once moving it will go right back to normal.
