There is more to it, but i'm not an engineer. You aren't going to blow your engine at 160* though.
I always wait til my coolant is at operating temps (180) and oil temps are over 160* before i put any strain on the engine.

HUGE Thanks!
Thanks guys for the info about bleeding the cooling system..specifically Binder...GENIUS! Never realized that about lifting the REAR of the car...bled it three times completely hot to ambient..sealed it off..and just came back from beating the hell out of it....high boost, low boost, etc etc...180 degrees..worked like a charm!!!! THANK YOU!!!

like i said, its weird how they have the system setup, to get the air to the radiator the car needs to be lifted in front but that causes air pockets in the heads so it needs to also be lifted in the rear. confusing setup but once you conquer it everything is great.

Binder
I wanna be sure I understand ur trick to bleeding
U agree with lifting the front of the car up and bleeding a few times but then you recommend we lower the front and lift the rear and bleed again several tries
