Thermostat choice...cooler...better...?? 200 1990

Nope: stay with the stock thermostat. The hotter the engine, the better the combustion. Your fuel economy will improve and emissions will decline. The only time a lower thermostat is indicated will be for engines producing a lot more heat (turbos) or operating in chronically hot conditions (desert, etc.).

Your stock thermo is 92 C.
