I just have a 4 blade stock fan (with 442 a/c shroud) with my 455 (180 thermostat). Runs between 180-200 normally but the hotter it gets outside the temp goes up obviously. On a hot day in the 80's the car can go up to 230 degrees while sitting in heavy traffic for a while (20 mins). That's when I get nervous. I don't like it getting that hot and it has only happened a couple of times as I usually pull over and shut her down.

I think 190-200 is fine during the summer. I wouldn't worry about it.
