1300 max, you can go higher but only for a few seconds, 1100 is a safe sustained temp, but i would keep it below 1000 to make sure the engine lives a long happy life
where in Alberta are you located? your engine temp shouldn't be running that high, have you changed the exhaust yet? I would look into doing that, a nice mandrel bent 4" free flowing system should help, the AEM intake wont do crap considering the stock filter and unit will flow just as well, and provide cleaner air for a lot longer.... 100,000kms depending on how dusty the roads are you drive on, unless the filterminder is pulled down I wouldnt worry about changing it
Free up the exhaust and see if that helps, it should make a difference
