Hi Kas,
I don't have much to add to what's been said. I have an SA 427 SO in a Superformance. I removed the washer and put in a 180 degree thermostat. I also used water wetter. When the car is moving it usually is below 80 C and goes up to about 95 C when sitting in traffic. I think my fans come on at 95 C and go off at 90 C. I haven't driven the car for a couple of months so I'm working off of a notoriously bad memory. When putting the car together I opted to use the thermostat instead of the "washer". The reason some people don't use thermostats is the possibility of them sticking in engines that sit for long periods of time. I think you'll be OK with what's been recommended.
