Hi everyone this is probably a frequent or silly question but what is the normal temp on a stock srt6 no mods.i live on Vegas and summer hits hard over 100 degrees weather. now it's mid 80s and my temp gauge stays half way sometimes in traffic stays above half way,at what temp does the fans goes on and thermostat opens thanks

 

The OEM thermostat is 186 deg, I believe, that's about half a needle below half on the guage.
Here in Alabama on a 100 deg day with AC on and in traffic, I have seem 214 degrees on my NA.
( I have an UltraGauge that shows engine temp in F or C )
That's about 2 needles above half

 

Normal for me in warmer weather is about a needle above half. If I sit in traffic for a bit, it drops significantly and I know the fan kicked on.

 

Thanks for the replies i just want it to know if it's normal temp for the crossfire to be above half way on the gauge cuz I just to own a 04 gto and Pontiac cars temps are a bit higher I think the thermostat and fans go on in about 215+degrees so they work on hotter standards

 

This is a topic where I would like tips to keep the operating temps with the stock needle at 9 o'clock as that is where the car makes the most power. I am willing to drill a few holes in a stock thermostat as I have read where that has helped others.-How about the fan command in a tune, could it be programmed to always come on in high RPM mode-other suggestions? THX!
