The 165 degree thermostat is in and the car is running cooler then ever. I let the car warm up in the garage for about 10min until the oil was at the correct pressure. Then check the engine coolant temp and it was steady at about 175 degrees vs the 195 degrees with the other stat. I went out and beat on the car for a bit and when I got back it was pretty steady at 180 degrees. So the stat works! Keeps the car cooler then the stock one.
