From a spirited driving perspective, especially on a car with any power and any mods, I tend to baby them when warming up after a cold start. I know generally ECT at 165 or higher is one, but since this is a large motor with a lot of oil, is something like cylinder head temp another data point to watch to know when you are ready to drive it a little more hard? It looks like normally, the cylinder head temp readout stops rising at around 200 degrees.
I am generally shifting between 2-3k on cold starts now, let it idle about 15-20 seconds before pulling out of the driveway. This is my first Mustang, so TIA.
