Stock sensor is new and so is the aftermarket one.

what temps would you rather be seeing?

Well, at least operating temps.. the stock thermostat doesn't open until 87C. SO.. By these numbers, I'm running with it closed (which I doubt is the case, but still)..

My thermostat opens at 83C though lately it is at 81C. No idea why it is a bit different the past couple weeks but I have definitely noticed a change.

Oh and I hardly ever see running temps higher than 88C with normal city and highway driving.
