radiator cap & Thermostat

1. What temperature for the Thermostat does everyone have? I think I have 190 degrees.
2. What psi for the Radiator cap does everyone have?I think I have the one somewhere 13 psi.

Q' I ask these question because I'm having problems with temp. gauge. It gets to mid level after driving for a while and fluctuates near redline when driving for a while at 50+mph with A/C cooler on. I'm thinking these might be the problem. I'm using Toyota Red coolant if that matters.
I hope a hose doesn't swell and leak at the heater hose (behind the engine) like it did a while back. The reason for that was the thermostat, which I changed then.

The problem is that the temp guage increases significantly only when I turn on the A/C and driven it for a while.
Could the cooling system be the reason?
good question. that was something I was wondering about too.
