Default Thermostat Mod?

I have noticed a few SRT-4s with 160 t-stats ad 180 t-stats. What does this mod actually achieve?

nope, we have a 195 stock. you can get the stant at pep boys, autozone, or any other parts store. it's stant part number 13788. shouldn't cost more than like $5

I have a dumb question. Why did DCX put a 195 thermostat in our cars if it runs better with a 180? Just wondering.
