Well it's 15F cooler than it was the night I did the tests, but I put in the old thermostat, and took it on the same route and Max temps I got was 181F. I'll know for sure tomorrow when I go to my friends house if it worked for sure. And update accordingly but a 50F drop is massive difference. And it barely, barely hit 181F, all the other runs were 175-178F.

[Edit]: The thermostat was hollowed out.
