Once I entered Interstate 10, cruising at 75-80 in sixth, A/C on the ECT went down to 192°.
As the outside air temp, dropped below 100°, the ECT began to drop as well.
I have a Fluidyne radiator, a nine-tube Fluidyne oil cooler and use straight water for coolant.

Good stuff there
Hib 
That is within 5 deg F of my readings with Ron Davis but then again you are 10 deg Hotter Ambient....and several other differences I am sure
But very close in Coolant Performance....Oh.....I did not say it but I am running a mix of distilled water and green antifreeze which I think your water wetter and straight water will prolly get you a bit cooler
I have a Fluidyne (not sure exactly which one) that was in a 1990 ZR1. I removed that Fluidyne and installed a Ron Davis moving that Fluidyne over to another 1990 replacing its stock radiator.
It gets complicated
You want to have some fun.......see LT5 Cooling for Autocross

Why wait....do it now
I will tell you about my new fool proof Coolant Re-fill technique that assures NO air within the Coolant System when you are done Re-filling with Coolant
