Normal operating coolant temperature for 2017 GT350

Changed out the coolant over flow container with after market model today. Looks like the coolant temp might have risen a little. What is the normal temp range on 2017 Shelby GT350?

My cylinder head temp usually reads about 205° when fully warmed.

Thanks that's about what I was seeing

These engines definitely run hot. During summer months, sitting in traffic, I'd see inlet air temps above 150°. That's a lot of heat under the hood. May be one reason the a/c's on these cars isn't so great.

Unless you disturbed something else, the expansion tank alone would have zero impact on temps.

mine runs at 207 on 93 octane and 205 on E85.
