Mine are at the filter head, measured after cooler, I am putting them in my pans also and going to have a switch to monitor both places..

Something to consider is if they offer optional temperature replacement thermostats
The mercury racing I have only offer the 210 deg stat, it's sourced from a 90s M series BMW. The road racing crown has machined a solid billet replacement that keeps it open at all times, which does us no good.

For what its worth I have been running the Perma-Cool oil thermostats with 3 1/2" x 24" oil coolers for 8+ years now. They have worked great and solved my oil condensation issues. I know they don't look very fancy but the thing I liked about them is that they use a standard car radiator thermostat "pellet" , so you can pick the temp you want them to open at anywhere from 140deg - 220+deg. Just buy the desired temp radiator thermostat and cut the pellet out of it, remove the snap ring on the perma cools and swap it out. Takes 5min... There are 2 in the swap shop right now (not mine) if you want to see want I am talking about. Also the ones that Full Force originally posted look like billet body versions of the same thing (they definitely plumb the same) so maybe you can do the same pellet swap with those. Anyway just trying to help, I know I don't post on here very much...

Oh and I settled on 195 deg pellet, my oil temps warm up fast and then stay between 200-215 no matter how hard I run it or what the water temp is like. my sensor is at the input to the oil filter head (before the thermostat or oil cooler ).
