yes. No point to it. Car needs to run around 180-190 for the computer to leave 'warm up' cycle anyways.

might be ok for a track only mod.

With a factory electric fan car, a cooler thermo-stat will only make the car take longer to warm up. The computer will keep the fans off until it reaches a pre-defined temprature.
