I'll get the right edge/220 on a hot day in traffic, and as soon as I'm moving 35+ for a bit, the temp drops back down to 190-200.
Both cars have the 160 T-stat, new water pumps, and the larger water/oil cooler. 986 has a center radiator, 996 does not.

thanks a lot for these details they really help paint the picture and put my mind at ease as i'm getting the same temperatures (and sounds like your setup is even better than mine for the 986, i'm all stock with no center radiator) so its not out of the ordinary. i was about to drop quite a bit of money into it to try and sort it but i think i'll let it be until the next coolant change when i will upgrade to a better water pump.
still thinking about upgrading to a bigger oil cooler as that is a cheap easy improvement.
