How Hot does your LS1 get?

ive got a 96 lt1 and it seems to be backwards than most of you guys. When the stock needle sits at 210 (halfways) my aeroforce gauge reads between 199-202. I dont trust my stock needle gauges anymore. Sometimes the temp reaches the red mark and the aeroforce reads it at around 230-235. Even my rpms are off by a little bit. The only one that reads accurate is my speedometer so far.
And like someone else mentioned, mine would go back to normal as well when I turned off the A/C and didn't get hot after I removed the ssra/ftra, not to mention I added a bit of coolant too.

Thanks for all the info. I just bought a 2002 z28 for the engine, but after driving it a while it got hot also.
Went down to normal when I shut off the A/C.
Good to know this is normal.
