Colder the thermostat the cooler the car is going to run. Until recently i didnt have a thermostat at all in my car and it ran very cold. Now i have a 160 in it and it runs between 160- 175 and stays 160 on the highway. I have an autometer mechanical gauge so the readings are accurate not guesstimates. I had pulled my thermostat because i blew a head gasket and was waiting on new heads and the car ran too hot with the blown head gasket and the thermostat but ran very cold with no thermostat. Hope this helps.
