Default Removing the thermostat?
My 429 runs an even 210 degrees in traffic, a little hot! I thought that taking the thermostat out might allow coolant to run free and drop the op temp a bit.

Mechanic suggested it might actually run hotter as the thermostat slows the coolant keeping it in the rad longer.

What is the truth here?
