Default Thermostat question

Ok. I live in the south, Mississippi, near the coast, and it dips down in the 30s down here, mainly 40s in the coldest part of winter, and during the night time hours, during the day time, it usually stays at high 40s and low 50s. I was wondering, should I put a normal thermostat back in my car since of the winter? I have the 110 in it right now ( just so people know, i have 233-239 cam, patriot stage 2 heads, headers, and other basics, didnt know if that would effect someones opinion.) Anyways, should I switch it out to a normal thermostat for winter or what??

If you can log some real time data you can see where your
temps are and go from there. If you still have stock fan
programming I think you'll be okay.
I'm going to hook Autotap up to mine today and see what
mine is doing with these cooler temps we're starting to see
lately here (I'm in N FL). I notice my idiot temp gauge is
running a lot lower than usual. May make some fan
adustments.
