yes, it will run hotter. without one, your coolent will flow through the radiator too fast, and not cool down as much as it should. the therm. reduceds flow enough and allows the coolent to cool down enough in the radiator. just put in a 160.

Not really accurate. In fact just the opposite. Done both and you will run cooler without the thermostat. In cooler weather you will run too cool!
