What is the normal operating coolant temps you see??

I had a gimormous radiator on my car and it barely if ever got above 180. What do you guys see on a normal basis with aftermarket gauges? Do you think the 207 degree thermoswitch on the back of the water pump housing is too high to start an electric fan? IIRC the Rx-8 fans turn on at that temp but it may be too hot for a 13B-T block.
