Thankfully, I rarely ever use the freeway lol...
I need to load test the car and see how much load it takes to hold 55mph with these new tires and other mods...

I like the look of the car lot and congratulations on the air dam
I think those coolant temperatures might be considerably too high. I used to have an alarm set on mine to trigger any time the temperature went over 206 degrees. Now I have it set to go off whenever the coolant temperature goes over 200 degrees. I think the kinds of temperatures you're seeing could lead to premature head gasket failure.
