You got how it works mixed up with another mod, but yes, a 180*F will give you a lil more power. It doesn't trick your computer into thinking anything though. It just makes your engine run cooler. Stock thermostat is a 195*F and even DC has admitted that our engines run best at around 182*F I think and the reason they put 195*F thermos on is for emissions purposes. Just as a forewarning...your gas mileage may drop a lil if you switch to a 180. Mine did anyway.

Hmmm...you might...not sure. I don't have inspections here so I've never worried about it.
