With the mods that are in my signature and stock cooling, the stock thermostat sits a little bit above the half way point on an 85* day. Is this okay, or am I asking for trouble?

Looks ok to me. I'd run a 180 stat in it though.

You really have nothing to work with unless you add a quality temperature gauge. With the stocker, you simply don't know what your temperature is.
