Even if you install a 160 degree thermostat, (which I suggest that you do) the temp readings will remain about the same. To actually make the engine run cooler, you will have to reprogram the PCM to lower the fans on/off temps to get a lower reading and even then you may not see much of a change on the gauge but the engine will be running a bit cooler.
