thinking about a low temp thermostat for m-tuned reroute..
despite the reroute and a nice radiator my car runs a bit warmer than I would like. anyone have thoughts on going to a lower rated thermostat?
what can I try from a local parts store just for fun. I know many have great success with the reroute and other parts. thats cool, mine runs on the hot side. My head gasket seems fine as does the water pump so rally what else can I check?
perhaps someone has a part number of a 170 thermo or something similar I can try in the reroute housing?? it might not make much difference but a few extra minutes is happy vs worried on temps

yeah, i have a track day in 2 days. I'm driving the car. I was looking for input.. no um something is wrong. wow never thought of that thanks!
the car runs fine, strong, its gets pretty hot at the end of a session, if something was really wrong I don't think it could take being pounded on for 30 minutes about 235 ish f under hot conditions .

temp sensor on the back of the block, in the reroute housing.
the standalone sensor was moved to the front of the block because the sensor housing tube was slightly wrong size for the hose and was leaking a little bit.
the rest of the cooling system is stock, heater is stock, ducting
