Default 496 HO Water Temp and Water PSI?

Can someone tell me what the range for the engine temp should be and also the range for the water psi?

THanks

Engine temp should be 155 to 175. Exhaust manifold temps should be 110 to 140. Sea pump pressure depends on the location of the sensor. Older 496's sea pump pressure sensors are mounted on the pump and should be about 25-30 PSI at cruising speeds. Newer models with the sensor mounted on the power steering cooler will be lower (18-22 PSI). This is from my personal expierience, somebody please correct me if I am wrong.
