+1 Nova in the U.S. the most common plug used is #6 depending on which CL12 version you have
CL 12 ET Stock Silver case version 240-260 after break in
CL 12 Tuned Black case I ran it @ the Nat's every Qualifier 240-260 hot lap tune & came off @ 290-300 & have almost 3 gallons & had to change the bearing due to running it hot very often
Majority of the time when your clutch & gearing are on point yuo should see temps in the range of 240-280 & most of the time the weather is in the high 90's
