Try running it at 75 MPH in 103* heat.
220 and climbing. 
Of course that's with a 401 bored .040 over.

If you are only at 210 or so you are fine. No need to worry. If you hit 230, then you need to start looking for a hill to coast down :P

I think Stuka is correct in his assessment. If that is all it increased you're doing great.
