I just took the thermostat out to see how well the radiator and cooling system worked, and I think the fact that it can significantly overcool the engine driving down the highway with the AC running on a 100 degree day means it works pretty darn well. I normally run a thermostat. Once I get everything finished and put back together I will redo that test on another ~100 degree day and see if it can cool the engine off more. If it can that means my mods worked.
As effective as my cooling system is, I can't judge its performance with the thermostat in since the coolant always runs right at the thermostat's setpoint of around 182-186 degrees all year, doesn't matter if its the middle of the winter with the heater on or a 100 degree day with the AC on.
