It takes a LONG time to reach 94C that last time I logged it. Like 30 mins of highway driving and only after a few WOT pull. Before that, it hovers at around mid 80C most of the time. But again, I also have aux. radiator installed (check my mod list).

I bet it has something to do with the thermal management logic in the DME. But who cares about the street temp, as long as the oil temp gets hot enough for it to work properly (+180F), it is good enough for me (you might lose a mpg or two with coolant than usual coolant temp though). Track temp is where it really counts.
