The coolant temp was taken from the stock sensor via OBD2.
I watched my track day recording again - it did log a higher coolant temp at 93C when my oil temps were on 120C. Have to admit that I'm a track novice and I probably could have gotten the car pushed harder for sure.

What I realized is that it increases slightly fuel consumption, gives some room before water AND oil temp rises (for example in mountainous roads you can thrash it here and there with no overheating problems), and probably helps in knock behavior.
In addition, the winter I should adjust the temperature higher, from the interior temperature control, to achieve the same heat.
Forgot to add, Mishimoto is different technology than our NTCL thermostat plus it's reliability issues!

Thanks for the feedback. Here where I'm from it's a tropical climate all year round so we don't use the heaters. Referring to your 102-103C temps, I believe you are referring to oil temperature? Do you have any record of peak coolant and oil temperatures pre and post-OEM thermostat?
Also - NTCL also sells their thermostats directly under their own brand too, at least good that there's an option.
