cool season that's where I run um no problems when it gets hot itll drop better to run um high this time of year ,alot depends on surface temp sensor closes at around 240 on hot [100 +] day high humid seen um run well over 200, keep that water pump changed, detonation not good on rod bearings or pisst ons
