what year is your v8? Which V8? how big is the radiator? alum or copper radiator? How many more or less gallons of coolant from stock?

Normally if its directed towards performance Id go as cool as possible... but if your doing alot of highway mileage and want better mpg then somewhere near the hotter side.... of course you still want a little bit cooler than what your aiming for... just incase

I got a aluminum 19x22 griffin radiator a 160 degree thermostat with a mechanical fan. It stays around 170-180 degrees 80% of the time.
