I see 150-200 as normal, but it gets awfully hot here and we usually don't have much of a winter. I would start worrying over 220.

220 isn't that hot, think about it. The stock cooler goes into the radiator and these cars typically run 210-220 with the stock t-stat. Typically 150 range with an aftermarket cooler on it is about adv, i see 180 or so in summer depending on where i put the cooling fan settings at.
