Yep, sounds fine to me. 225-250 is the range I like it in.

Yep. 230°F is my normal operating temp, pretty much regardless of ambient.

Default Yep normal (as stated by others), much hotter than that and you may experience a limp mode of sorts

These puppies run hot and somewhere in or over the 2 fitty range, you'll may notice some 'lag' or lack of horsies... this is when I back off big time and if I can pull over, leave the engine running and pop the hood. I've only had to do this when rompin' hard through the canyons on a hot day.

Default Around 225 with everyday driving, but maxed at 275 at the track...

Should I be worried?

Default It was my first time tracking the car...

...and I kept it in 3rd most of the time with very high RPM's.
