I'll check mine tomorrow, but it doesn't go above half, at the very most.

gauges are useless. Pretty sure ideal is about 80deg

Mine does not go above half and that is running all day and just idles away when checking tracks. Last Sunday was 7 or so hours without being turned off. But as Tod said, about 80 deg is around the norm for most cars.
In the words of a Dhuck "QUACK".

It will depend on what temp thermostat you used as to what temp it will be regulated at & as for the gauge????? that are not known for there accurateness so if you question it do what most do & thats fit an after market gauge.

RIP - valued member and true gentleman of this forum that will be missed by many!
used to be concerned about guage creeping up above half at low speed with a/c on. Checked with radiator shop and auto leccie who both advised that is in the normal range for GQs and not to worry - pay attention when it gets past the mark.
I have bought a couple of kits from an electrical place that will beep when a predetermined temp is reached - plan to attach the sensor to an engine bolt for an audible alarm that does not rely on water in the system
