I have a 94 Mustang Gt Fixed up and modded it has a 5.0 and puts out around 340HP. Well the stock temp gauge does not work and it has aftermarket Temp Gauge that Reads from 210 to 220 Degrees Fahrenheit. I Drove it like that all day for a few weeks. Is that to hot for the motor to run? Im in Houston Tx and that was on a very hot day. What degree should i start worrying about it?

What should it be at?
 
There's nothing wrong. The engine has a 195 thermostat and 210 is the average running temp. It wouldn't do any real harm if you wanted to put a 180 thermostat in there. It just makes fuel injected cars a tiny bit less efficient.
 
You can replace the thermstat with a cooler one like 180.degree an flush you rad, check to see if fan is pulling air thru rad. ok
