Just less than 400....

On edit: I checked on my way home -- it cools to 350 pretty quick, goes to 325 after a few minutes.

A shade under 350.

If she idles long enough (4 minutes maybe), it'll get as low as 330, but I can't usually wait that long and it usually gets to about 345-350 in a minute or two.

Briano, I was just going to ask you how going kittyless has helped. Does not look like much at idle, but did you notice an improvement while driving or towing?

Just over 300 (needle still touching the 300 mark) at idle in gear with foot on brake. Under 300 at idle in Park (280 or so).

Just under 600 flat and level hiway at 65 mph. 4" MBRP downpipe back.

All this with Juice on level 2.

mine is 200-250 here. (if I just start it and let it idle) After driving it is usually around 260-320. Sometimes lower when it is -40, it is about 180. That's a good reason for high idle...still only get around 200 with high idle though. This is on my display for the TST Powermax.
