Default temp gauge installed....question?

well i installed an auto meter ultra-lite trans temp gauge yesterday. litte tedious but it came out good. my question is, what temperature do you all seem to run at under normal driving conditions? i haven't driven mine more than about 25 miles since the gauge went in, but my temp seems to be stable at around 155-160 degrees. input?

180 according to my Autometer.

I have a TCI cast AL deep pan.

I have a cooler ready and waiting to be installed.I'm hoping for another 10-15* drop in temps.

Normal driving is around 160-180 or so...that's with a B&M 24000GVW Tranny Cooler. I want to get a manual fan switch.
