Why are you not running thermostats? It is very beneficial to the engine to bring it up to temperature as quickly as possible and maintain a minimum temperature. Something at least in the 180 - 185 degree range. IMO 190 would be better.

Running an engine to cool increases contaminates in the oil, increases engine ware and decreases engine efficiency.
