I wait till at least 300*. Duno if its good bad or what, its an old time rule of thumb. Cant hurt though!

I wish I could get mine down to 300deg (only time I've seen below that was going down hill coasting). I shut down below 400deg.

When you work the engine hard, allow a few minutes of easy driving before shutting down. This is of particular concern when racing or towing. For normal driving, don't sweat it.
