Use a 180. Most engine builders will never suggest no stat. You need the restriction to slow the coolant flow down to allow for heat transfer.

+1 (82*c)

Although drilling a #30 hole in it helps to continually bleed any trapped air to the expansion tank.

Scott,

Good point. We do that but I forgot to mention it. The hole makes filling/bleeding much easier and is good practice on GTs where the cooling system is long and complex.
