    A 180* will not require the code to be removed. I believe 160* or 170* is the threshold that the engine has to get to so it doesn't set the code.

    A 180* doesn't change how long it takes your car to warm up. Heater performance isn't really changed either. Drilled thermostats do make your car take longer.
