Ofcourse a cooler engine will run better, but a 20 Degree difference on a bone stock motor that makes 170 horsepower to the rear wheels? Really no performance difference. He won't be very happy with it in the winter time either when he keeps getting the P0128 code.

If we were talking about an older vehicle with no on board diagnostic system, I would say run a 120 degree thermostat!
