You want the fastest lap you can get, with no more than .5s drop at 8 mins.
That's a good setup, and it's more important than temp.
I'd say it more depends on the motor. X12s like it hot. All other motors will show a significant drop off in performance above 140ish. 1S doesn't have the balls to let the motors push hard once they get near max temp.

If you can get a set up that gives no more than a .5 drop off at 8 minutes, you're not only a bad ass tuner, you're a bad ass driver!
