I think she's over heating..

Well it finally hit 100 over here in east side of WA.
I have a new pump, shroud, flex fan and 180 thermostat.
Plus a puke bottle that was a washer fluid bottle..
and new radiator cap..

today after driving on the highway, i pulled off and had to go up a hill which I do everyday to get home.. good size hill at 35-40mph..
My temp gage hit dead center or maybe a hair over center..
Should I worry??
What do you think that temp could be..
Oh yeah its a bbc 402 with a 3 core radiator..

thanks

Did it push any water into the puke bottle? If it didn't overflow it you are still in good shape in my view.

I don't think it pukes when running it. Just the normal after you shut her down..
