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!

a nice trick is to drop a colder range in spark plugs

Back in the day, the standard stat was the 160, but with PCM management this has become 180 degree's. Dropping heat range in spark plugs should be driven by the tune. Racing often benefits colder plugs or continious high speed driving. Nitrous also requires colder plugs. Monitor your gages and figure out what is needed. Good luck..

Exactly, kr is a killer of pistons. Some folks have opt to use water/alcohol injection instead of a intercooler to assist with controlling kr.
