The factory oil distribution block already has a thermostat in it, 110 deg C IIRC. 200 F is too cool. Hot oil, cool water. You want to see 220 - 240 F oil out of the cooler into the engine. Remember the oil condition sender measures the oil temp in the pan, not after the cooler.

Are you adding a second, parallel or serial cooler? Or changing the stock tiny cooler to a Setrab 625? Where you gonna put it?
