i know that the 98 had a 186 thermo, but not sure has for the 2000....the only difference is that the 2000 has the slp flowpac kit......is that whats making it hotter? is there any benefits from a car running at 186 over 210?

98 is the only Ls with a accurate gauge. all the others are dummy gauges

Ditto. On 98's the sensors send the signals to the instrument panel, all others received information from the ECM

so are the oil pressure, amp, and fuel gauges inacurate on the 2000 as well

I just tell people as long as oil pressure isn't pegged either way then your ok. V8s minimum oil pressure spec when hot is 6 psi, so it can get pretty low. Amps is usually pretty accurate. A lotta GM cars fuel guage is just a reference, but my 02 and the wifes 99 are pretty accurate. But we make a habit of running almost empty and filling up again. Not too many partial fillups so the guage always does a full sweep and doesnt sit in one spot too long....

the stock LS1 thermostat is 186......you can get a 180 or a 160 if you so choose.......stock temp the fans come on is 205 i believe......a lower stat would benefit from a tune that lowers the fan turn on temp
