Yes, the NASCAR guys run at the highest temps they can withstand to get the nth degree of added power--240-250 degrees is not uncommon....

I'm running a 190 F thermostat with spring-loaded plate to block off the bypass when the thermostat is open.

The engine didn't over heat, only loss 2 cups of water. The car came stock with a 160 degree thermostat. I now understand that the 180 degree thermostat is better. Outside of the temperature will be more constant, I really don't see the advantage of a 180 degree thermostat.
