190/200° F is pretty cool if you ask me. The engine didnt shut down due to overheating at low 200°F temps.

I just want to know where you find a girlfriend that has a Tmaxx?

ya , my wife hates my trucks and I very seldom run them , and when i do she says do you have to do that now .

TRX engines run best about 260° to 290° in my experience. 200° is too cool IMO.

Running that cool I figure you would be way to rich and choking it out with to much fuel. If I am 240-260 I consider that pretty good for temp. I also only use temp as a reference gauge for tuning. You can have 2 of the same rigs (like you for example) and have 2 completely different tunes to get the same result or in your case have similar tunes and running completely different. Every motor runs different even though they are the "same".

Sounds to me like it's choking out because it's too rich. It needs to run around 260+.

EDIT:
Sorry for the echo. I guess Phins Fan beat me to it.
