From what I recall when I was setting up my WAI, lots of modders on here seem to like 120s, 130s, and even 140s. I try for 120s and 130s max in summer (over 100 minimum in California's "winter"). I seem to recall suggestions that going over 140s is risky.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
