My Cobra coolant temperature was at 215F F. While running A/C. Dash gauge showed temp. In the middle. Is 215 kinda high?

These are the stock fan settings:
High Speed Fan High Load Temp to Turn On = 224
High Speed Fan Off ECT = 224
High Speed Fan On ECT = 228
Low Speed Fan Off ECT = 210
Low Speed Fan On ECT = 210
ECT = Electronic Coolant Temperature
Your temps are within Ford settings for a stock car and stock thermostat. The low speed fan turns on and off at 210, the high speed turns on at 228 and turns off at 224. For high loads, the fan turns on at 224.
High Speed Fan High Load Temp to Turn On = 224
High Speed Fan Off ECT = 224
High Speed Fan On ECT = 228

I appreciate the answer. Could settings be changed? I am assuming if they can ot would have to be with a tuner.

They can be changed with tuning software. I use SCT's Pro Racer software
I have mine set at:
High Speed Fan High Load Temp to Turn On = 214
High Speed Fan Off ECT = 214
High Speed Fan On ECT = 218
Low Speed Fan Off ECT = 198
Low Speed Fan On ECT = 200
I have a stock thermostat and cooling system

Nothing wrong with your current temps.
New cars run in that range all the time .

This is what someone told me and info I read. Today I drove it for 30min or so at one point went to 220 then went down 218. Thermo must have opened as they mentioned above.

Update: Well I installed an SVE 3 core radiator and 170 t-stat yesterday. I have used the car all day today and everything is fine. Cobra temp will not go over 198 F. No leaks, no smoke, no nothing. I feel relieved. However, I also think I realized I am not into wrenching no more lol. My neighbor owns a car dealer and I think I am going to trader it in for something newer. I am to old and have little time to be tinkering with cars. So guys just in case I do trade it in thanks for all the help.
I did this on mine.
It was just about direct fit.
Ac lines I had to push on slightly to clear
Abs block had to be moved backwards to clear
Inter cooler tank has to move backwards
Mine now also stays low. See 178 with ac on in 100plus when driving
Seen 200 when Just idling
Thats good to hear! Especially because at this point. ABS is deleted, I have a trunk tank also. So should be pretty simple for me.
