Default Help me help myself! :)

In anticipation for the arrival of my Aeroforce Interceptor Gauge later today... Im planning in advance which parameters i will have it set for.

Im definately gonna do the trans and coolant temps but i dont know at what temps i should have the WARNINGS set for.

I know the tranny warning should be set for around 200 degrees but I have no idea where i should set the warning for my coolant temp.

What do you think would be the ideal temp for a coolant warning light?

For coolant I would assume under two hundred degrees Farenheit would be ideal, I am thinking about 180 degrees

The engine coolant fan comes on at 215°F, and shuts off when it cools to around 195°F.

I think my coolant warning is set for 225. Hot summer day idling around it is not unusual to see 220 on mine. Tranny temp is set for 200. Oil pressure is set for 20, but probably fairly worthless. Last one I monitor volts.
