Sounds like it went up 5 Deg F which is great. Mine ka-t sits at 195 (****ty fans) and when i boost it goes up to 205... Id say ur in great shape..!!

Am i ok running at 200 sometimes? I'm just finishing my project and if my car runs for 25 mins. it goes from 190 to 200-205. Is that ok?

As long as you stay below 210-215 you should be ok. I'm not sure what temp is actually bad, but I would assume anything over what I stated for a period of time can be bad.
