I start sweating around 225. Cylinder heads start to warp around 230. Remember, when you shut it down, you gain about 20 degrees, which is ok to 250, as it is not an operating 250. And, after a missed shift, and a half pass with the belt sticking out of the hood scoop, I have had it flash, to 240, or 250. Again, not operating, but flash. I would never start a pass, above 210. I try to hit the water box, about 160, stage at 180, and go through the traps at 200. That is a perfect pass. If the is a circle track motor, you should maintain around 180, maybe 200 in a draft, or in the final laps. If it operates above 210, I would be concerned.

Is it normal for 1993 Chrysler Imperial to have a temperature above half on the temperature gage?

Yes it is normal. The running temperature of an engine is affected by several factors, the load the engine is under, eternal temperature, the speed at which it is running etc. In addition the gauges fitted to cars indicate a safe 'range' rather than a specific temperature to reflect this. So long as the indicator remains within the safe range eveything should be fine.


What is the normal operating temperature for an engine?

Between 180 and 210 degrees. It is safe to operate an engine normally above about 112 degrees. Before it gets to that temperature you should be soft on the accelerator. The red zone on the temperature gauge is usually around 240-245 or so. Getting the engine that hot can be harmful to it.
