What temp?

What thermostat should I be using?

I've got a 195 deg. right now, and it seems too hot. When I turn the engine off, I can hear bubbling in the radiator. That didn't happen (at least I didn't notice it), when I had a 180 deg. thermostat.

It isn't overheating with the 195 deg., but the engine just seems so hot.

I chose the 195 because the books called for a 192. Plus, I figured that running the engine hotter is more thermally efficient, so as long as it wasn't causing problems it would make more power.

Has anyone tested engines on a dyno at different temps? If so, what was the difference?
