200 dF is nothing, my Stratus fan didn't kick on till almost 220, I haven't noticed at what temp the XFE rad fan turns on. It's really not pressurized (other than thermal expansion that there is no way to avoid) till 212, but they hit max pressure of the radiator cap 50+ times before hitting operating temp due to thermal expansions begins which is almost instantly. Used to be one of first performance mods was to swap to a lower temp t'stat. Ecomodder swap in a higher temp one. I'd go 205 without a 2nd thought, if the rad fan didn't turn on before that.

Pull the fuse on the Power steering, save some amps and save gas, steering kind of twitching anyway. Real easy ABA test.
