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 guys have dummy guages. Only the 98's were acurate. You didnt waste any money or time with the install.

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.
