personally , like i said above, i like to keep track of temp when i do the first 2 or so tanks when i am bliping it, slow driving it(as it is vital to get heat into it but not crazy hot) once i have done this, and i am driving it harder, i am not concerned with temp, i tune it and pay attention to smoke, how it exits from idle etc.
