Brian- I'm running a 160 in mine.  It didn't seem to run quite as well with 
the 180.  The manifold needs to be warm enough so the fuel doesn't condense 
out in the runners but 160 is hot enough to do that.  There were some 
studies that proved running less than 140 or so is harmful to an engine.  
The cooler it runs the longer it takes to boil condensate out of the oil I 
suspect.  I had an air bubble in the cooling system one time and the car 
boiled over because it didn't fill the water jackets.  I punched a 1/8" 
bleed hole in the base of my thermostat and it hasn't happened since.
