which temp thermostat

My engine is running cool, I wanna change my thermostat. Which temperature should I get? Stock engine. I live in south central PA, so that means warm summers and we get snow in winter. (just giving an idea of what kinda weather i live in case that helps decide what temp i need)

I'd go with a 195 degree T-stat.

195 is stock and what you should run. I have a 180 and the heater sucks.

180 is good for summer, 195 for winter. Easy to swap out.
