What do you guys consider normal and what is the point where you get concerned?

On the highway...
Ambient 90F = IAT.3 of 115-120F
Low Speed (light to light)...
Ambient 90F = IAT.3 of 130-140F
Red Light (extended idle)...
Ambient 90F = IAT.3 of 145-155F
Personally, I think my car does great, so i really don't worry about it, although I check the gauge constantly (more for learning). I assume the car is pulling timing over 150F, but when doing hard pulls its always between 110-130F so I think i am OK.. I would be concerned with anything over 150F for pulls... Just not an issue here.
I agree with Josh about running some E. Also consider a larger HX and fender tank. I also changed my fan settings, so that helps alot when at idle.
