The temp should be about 15 to 20 degrees cooler than the return air if everything is functioning and balanced correctly.

But anyway the exact temp coming out of the register is going to vary based on how far away the register is from the HVAC unit. If the register is three feet from the a-coil the temp will be considerably cooler than if you have a register three floors up. That is the reason the 15-20 degree difference between register and return is a good rule of thumb. A properly working and balanced system should be able to stay in that range under normal weather conditions and proper home sealing and insulation.
Just make sure you run the system for 15 minutes prior to making your final temperature readings to allow the ductwork to adjust to its normal operating temp
