Default What's your Maximum ST torq.16 temps on average?

Just a general question for anyone driving a Maximum ST with the Torq .16. I've purchased a venom-racing on-board temp gauge and have found that my engine performs the best at around 260-270 - that's even with the water test still sizzling away the water in about 3-5 seconds and plenty of vapor trail. The manual states that you shouldn't go above 220 for risk of overheating. Even at 2 1/2 turns out on the high end it is hotter than that. Does that seem too low to anyone else? Also, 2 1/2 just doesn't let the car perform. If I have to drive that slow - why drive at all? What temperatures are any of you running on your ST?
