I know it is not a 370, but should be the same principal.

the evo dont have a head design like the 370 where the vvel dumps alot of heat into the engine.im running a modified oem stat right now with one spring cut until my mishimoto stat comes in and my water wants to run 160-180 and my oil is running 190-205 and my gas is 19.7 with quite a bit of spirited driving.this is only temp because it does take to long to warm up when the ambient temps are in the 50's.but as i said,the water dots sit where they are suppose to once my water gets to 148 and i dont speculate im going to throw any cels with the 150 stat unless the 150 stat will allow the water temp to drop below 150f.
