the right temp

I have a 160 degree thermo along with my fans both on all the time...at idle ive hit 190...as i cruise it will drop...is this about the right temp for the new thermo and fans on all the time?

Im just worried because i just changed the thermo again, the radiator and the waterpump because my car kept overheating...


im just curious as to what temps other people are getting with a 160 degree thermo and the fans coming on at lower temps

195 should cure overheating problems.
