Normal CHTs?

[turbohvn]

What is considered "normal" for CHTs around town and on the highway? I am seeing 210 - 219 in mixed driving. It does not need to be a miserably hot day either. Thanks!

When you're looking they're at 210-219. They go high when you sit at a 5 minute long NoVa light, and drop between 180-190 when you're on a down-hill stretch on I-66 with no throttle.

You're fine.

i've seen mine in WV/KY as high as 217 on a really, really hot day. otherwise they dont generally show over 205

Would Ecoboost CHTs be higher?

190-195 while crusing or beating on it. 196-199 @ idle in traffic.

Reische 170

I'm always about 200-210 depending on temp and how hard I'm driving

Stock thermostat, but tuned: I see 195-208 in normal driving and cruising. I've only seen higher than that for brief instances. I may eventually do the Reische 170 deg T-stat.
