Its funny all of the references in this thread about the position of the needle on the temperature gauge. As someone mentioned before, you guys need to do some datalogs of coolant temperatre. You migh be surprised by what you see.

I have a water temp gauge and in 100+ weather in stop and go traffic I have seen the water temps go as high as 220. Oil temp would've followed but traffic finally let up and I was able to keep both at 200.
My OEM temp needle never went over half but I was getting really nervous looking at the water and oil temp gauges.
I have too many gauges for my own good.

I've been data logging the last few days, everything looks good and seems to be in good order. Set the fan to go off earlier as an extra measure.
I did data log. The highest water temperature reached on my car was 194* . Tried it all from city driving to standing in one place and idling for couple minutes.
