That's a good temp.
I remember when getting back into racing. The track owner was telling me that the best motor out was the Reedy S+ and to gear and time it to run no more than 150*. Well, when all was said and done, that motor had no punch left and I was still getting dusted in the straits. Come to find out, that motor was not that great. I would have made it faster, but as I mentioned, there was not punch left on it, so coming off jumps and out of turns wasn't the best.
