I would no run over 210 or so.
As Jerry said, gear down, back out of the throttle a little. With the ISL, 2100 is peak HP. Governed redline is 2330. So, settle in at 2000 to 2100 RPM.
Be sure the dash A/C is OFF (minimum of 5 HP additional load-- if A/C condenser is in the "cooling package" you are now using super heated air to cool the CAC and radiator).
We are just finishing up a 3000 mile trip-- same engine. Never saw coolant temperatures over 202 degrees F. As coolant temperature approaches the 200 mark, I am proactive to keep it from rising.
