I believe that closed loop occurs around 137* or something like that, so you will have closed loop. I have a 160* stat, but I'm tuned for it and I have my efans set to come on at 180* and off at 173*. One day this summer though, my factory temp gauge went up over 200*, with the ac on when it was really hot out. I haven't seen a temp like that out of my truck since going to the cooler stat with efans, so I was a little surprised. Not sure if it would have come down if I had time to drive it more though, as I reached my destination and turned the truck off at that point. (I doubt that it would have come down since the fans were already on and also running on high when the compressor kicked on).
Besides allowing you to run more timing, the cooler engine temps will in turn allow the trans to run cooler also, which is always a plus
