    Could just be a bad thermostat. What kind of temps are you seeing?

    Something's definitely wrong there. Anything above 230* will likely be a problem for you. I've been whomping around steep hills for hours in 97* heat and seeing it occasionally peak at 201*. Perhaps your engine is also overheating? As in low on coolant, have a clog in the coolant lines, or stuck thermostat?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
