Default 4.6 coolant temp

What is an average normal temp. of radiator coolant for the 4.6 motor? Is it 190 to 220?

Mine runs 192 to 196, just like clockwork. Pretty sure my stat is a 194.

The engine shouldn't be run over 210. Anything over is just begging for head gasket problems. Normal ranging should be under 200, like White said, 195 is the general average.
