Over-cooling only takes place when you are running an air/oil cooler, that is 
functioning all the time and knocking temperature off the oil even when you 
don't want it to.

I have a thermostatic sandwich adapter on both my Cobra and GT350, because 
they both have air/oil coolers, and it's necessary there.   But you definitely 
don't want it on your car--you're not hurting anything by having it, but you're 
not deriving the obvious benefit that the water/oil heat exchanger is able to 
provide.
