If molten metal is not dripping off your engine it is probably not too hot.

Good rule of thumb is to keep the pan temp below the oil's upper operating limit:
Conventional keep under 250F
Synthetic keep under 300F

Not going to find a "normal" temp; too many mods, too many different operating conditions.
