You are not seeking drag racing performance so you definitely don't want it colder than stock. You do not want it to overheat and boil over so, if you do nothing else a hotter stat could perhaps help. BUT if you do the grille block, fan delete, and engine blanket it will get warmer, get warmer faster, and retain heat much longer anyway.

If you grille block leave an opening for the transmission cooler.
