they are too busy uhhhh checking temps as we speak!!!. I am not sure. there was a thread I can remeber vaugely like 200 is good to 210 range. I may be mistaken though. What fluid are you running and have you considered a magtec or ats pan?

I thought synthetic fluid you could run to 230F as a high limit. Come to find out that them big allisons that run synthetic can have fluid operatingtemps up to 300+F.
