Too hot? (Engine Temp.)

Hey guys,
With normal driving my truck gets up and sometimes a bit above 190 on the temp. gauge. Is this a little too warm?

If you add HP, the 190* will get hot fast. Staying stock...probably stay where you are, unless you tow heavy.

Interesting . . . I would have thought so too but on my truck, (98.5 in my sig) it hasn't affected the temerature at all. My temp doesn't vary even towing when my egts are sky high. My guage doesn't move much at all.
