What are normal temp with this kit when cruising?

What are safe Oil temp (what's too low)?

What does the thermostat open at (JR told me 185)?
It's always trickle flowing.

Remember you're reading oil temp post-cooler. Don't worry about oil being too cool; it's not.

As a litmus test, go on the highway (after your car is warmed up), and sit in third gear, and watch your temps go up
