But, more importantly what are you cylinder head temps?

Bill, I had a cylinder temp gauge on one of my eight VW's in the past, in fact I still have the gauge in a drawer but the sending unit I left in the fins of number three cylinder of that VW I sold. The temp ran around 300°F to 350°F all the time, basically no matter what I did, so I kind of felt it was an unnecessary gauge since I wasn't drag racing. I might install it in a 914 Porsche 1.7L engine I have in my remaining VW, however, as I wrote earlier, this Speedster has been going strong for 30 years with this '66 912 Porsche engine installed, both from the original builder driving it and me driving here in hot Northern California heat. 

 Cylinder head temp gauge is in the dash so we'll see what it averages on our way to Carmel next week!
