160* thermo install, now have ?'s... So I installed a 160 degree thermostat and I turned the fans to come on early, however my temp gauge hasnt changed, and if it has, it might've gone down a hair. Is the gauge inaccurate or did I just waste 60 bucks and about 2 hours of my life?

You're getting lower temps, your gauge just will not show it.
I doubt you will ever keep it to 160 in the summer, 180ish is more likely. You will keep it to 160 in the cooler weather, but again, your gauge will not show it.

update:
My gauge started to work I guess? Now when I'm cruisin around it sits about 1/16" to the left of the 210 mark. Never used to do that. I guess the track times are gonna have to back me up.
