Stock ran 194F for me, real tight. Hype-tech 160
runs me 175-179 depending on load. The radiator
is more challenged to support that lower temp.
The stock 'stat is something like a 185F rating
so buying a 180 aftermarket one is about as big
a waste of money as there is (except maybe that
Vortex thingy).
Whay you really want, is just to get your fans to
run at low enough temps that the stock 'stat
has some authority behind it. Then you will have
a consistent and fast-responding temperature
control.

That's my meathod. Stock stat, custom fan settings. Keeps the temps cycling in the 194-204 range or so. Works great for me.
