And this morning ambient was in the 60s and on a 35 min drive I saw temps hit a high of 197*. Normal range is 186-190, sweet spot is 188*.
My normal temp is 198-206.6. Anything over that and the fans are running, which kills my battery when I EOC. Causes the DC-DC converter to run, making it harder to get in lean-burn and overall less power.
