What temperature does this Mishimoto racing thermostat open at?

This Mishimoto racing thermostat is designed to open at 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This is lower than the typical 186-degree opening temperature of many factory thermostats.

What is the benefit of a lower opening temperature thermostat?

A lower opening temperature allows coolant to circulate through the engine and radiator sooner. This helps to maintain cooler overall engine temperatures, especially during demanding driving conditions or when the engine is under load.

Does this thermostat come with a gasket?
