Re-read what
nicksm3 posted. There's a difference between a lower temp thermostat and deleting it all together. Unless your climate is 200F+, your engine isn't going to overheat.
The people using the Mosselman thermostat are generally heavily modified or running their vehicles hard at the track which can lead to potentially higher engine temps; the Mosselman unit in no way shape or form "does the same thing as the thermostat delete", it simply opens the thermostat valve earlier in order achieve slightly lower temps which are still within acceptable operational ranges. If you delete that function entirely, as was stated before, you'll never reach operating temperature and likely do more harm than good. Heat may be the enemy of power (which is the angle I believe this train of thought is coming from) but deleting the thermostat isn't the way to address it.
