I think i've mentioned this before, on the race car we drilled small holes around the stat, so would have the same effect, I think someone said this is a very bad idea.
it is a bad idea on a road car because it takes the engine a long time to get up to temperaturemany racers remove the stat altogether
at the end of the day the solution is to fit a more efficient radiator - but if you already have done this then a cooler stat will let the cooling system run cooler and have a greater buffer when the going gets hot
Hollowpockets i think you may be mistaken about the warm up time. I can speak from experience, one of my other cars has been running with holes drilled in the stat it takes about 10 miles to get up to temperature. The new 82c stat was fitted and it gets up to temperature in only a few minutes.
The car now has a lower running temperature
