What was the temperature of the thermostat you put in?
Get the OBD up with the coolant temperature and drive the car hard. You should see the temperature rise and then drop as the thermostat opens.
I have changed my in line thermostat to 92 degree version but if I am pottering around it never gets to this temperature - more like 85 degrees.
Driven hard it gets to 92+ and then drops rapidly
