Sounds great. If it works similar to what I had with the Miata, I'd imagine I'd hit close to 160-170 degrees only on the highway low RPM cruises. I'm not sure if the engine would throw a code for that, though. I asked about the thermostat to Matt @ FSP as well (since I'm running his mail-order-tune), but he's historically been very slow to respond, if he responds AT ALL.
