Word to the wise
Guys,
A long time ago I had an 80's Camaro that would always run in the 220 degree range. Wanting better performance I dropped in a cooler thermostat 180 degrees and the car did run faster because the air going in was cooler, etc. After a year of running the cooler thermostat (below the mfg specs) the heads were badly carboned up and it cost a lot to regrind the heads...
My advice is stick with the stock thermostat. Opening the engine bay and removing plastic parts might be ok, just don't change the thermostat.
My 2001 Boxster runs 182 consistently!
