I diasagree to a degree. (no pun intended)

Ford find 95 ok when dealing with the cylinder head temps of a standard car and also run such high coolant temperatures as it helps with fuel economy due somewhat to thermal effieciency, but i personally prefer a water jacket somewhat cooler after a high temperature run to help combat some of the heat generated and maintain gasket integrity by keeping the pressures down a little . Somewhere in the mid to high 80s is my preference at slow speeds and low 80s at high speed.

Mikes point about the fans is very valid though, the 2 stage ones are garbage. As well as this, you will often find that a standard sensor in an alloy rad means the fans will kick in and almost never go off... more mods.
