What's Your Engine Temp?

In a post on Performance Talk someone said their engine was running hotter than normal after installing a set of headers. The explanation was that the O2 sensors were picking up more hydrocarbons because of no CATs and the ECU was compensating by leaning out the mixture.
If it was running warmer the thermostat would open more and the coolant would flow more and the radiators would do what radiators do and you would not see a change on the gauge, right?

What I do notice on my car is that my engine runs cooler than any other vehicle that I drive. It will read about 182 degrees no matter what. I know you can buy performance thermostats that open at 180 degrees, thus fooling the ECU into thinking the engine is cold and compensating that by adding a little extra squirt. So I was wondering about the rest of you, what are ya'll running for engine temp?
