Once its broken in and tuned I try to run my engines between 220-300 on a hot summer day here in Florida. In the Winter when it cools down to the 50's I run them below 200 with a super hot plug. This is on Novarossi based motors with nova plugs and pipes and Trinity MHP 25% fuel.

Also AKIRA, since engine was broken in, you should now change glow plug to a new one, lots of times we forget this and keep running engine with crappy plug, that we used to break in
this will help you keep engine running prime...hope this helps!
