There are many factors that will make your head run from about 140 to 270.
Weather, humidity, fuel type, head mods, port mods, state of the cooling system, type of coolant, cooling system mods ect....
This is a great thread:

Rougedante:
What would be better to have the head temp or water temp from the head
sandblaster:
Head temp responds the quickest to changes and is the easiest to do.
Water temp out of the head is more difficult because you have very little room from the head outlet to the radiator inlet.
So really, you need a temp sensor on the rad where the coolant is going in from the head or you need one on the head.
MY water temps are all after the coolant has been cooled.... which isn't great but it's better then nothing.
Rougedante:
With my swap ill have longer hoses so it will be easier to install for me. Now im gonna read tht link when I get off work and can pay attention better. But the little bit I read makes nooo sense to me hahaha. I have no cooling system knowledge. I just figured bigger radiator to hold more coolant and better cooling capibilities due to the more fins....
