Gen3 Coyote CHT Question

[zoinks5.0]

This past week I was doing some spirited driving through the mountains in my 19 GT PP1 A10. I had the gauge mode up and pretty much anytime I was pushing it my CHT would range between 220-230 (ambient temp 75-85). Ended up on the tail of the dragon and I also noticed that my oil temps were at the very top of the "green" range. Now I have a pretty much completely stock car and I'm wondering what temps other owners have been seeing. I'm a little concerned as well just because I reguarly see CHT 205-220 in my daily life as well (ambient temps between 85-95). Usually once I start cruising though they'll sit in the high 190s.

Am I overthinking things or should I be concerned?

CHT temps will always be higher than coolant temps, especially with spirited driving and with stop and go traffic, the only time they’ll get close to coolant temps is highway cruising. If it bothers you add water wetter to the coolant to drop temps overall by 5-15 deg.

I had the same concern with my GT's. '18 runs hotter that my old '16....
Looks they run really hot after the a short spirited driving for a couple of minutes...Even at highway, were there is alot of air flow, oli temp, and cht goes above 220-230F

Have you done anything to try and bring them down or just accept it as "normal" and moved on?

Makes sense more power = more heat. To my knowledge ford didn’t upgrade the cooling system for the new power levels, so they must have thought it was safe.

I would not sweat 230 CHT in spirited driving in summer months. Running E85 is an easy solution to cooler cylinder temps btw.
