Default good or no good

so im getting a s/c installed. I dont have the thermostat that trd provides which is 1 degree cooler. I was wondering if this was a good option, its drastically cooler but allows for more coolant flow

Let me knw what you think:

141.8 is way too low on that mishi. If you got the stock rad and have some cash laying around, get the TRD thermostat (160) that comes originaly with the supercharger. It's like $50 , but it's oem quality. Even a 170 deg from local autoparts will do, just make sure it's a quality one.

When I installed the koyo rad, I installed a 170 Murray plus from oreilys and so far so good. It would be helpful to get one that has a bleeder/jiggler valve (I think that's what is called) like the OEM, cuz that will help with keeping steady temps.
