I think as long as your engine temps bring the needle just passed the "C" you should be fine. As far as over cooling your intake charge, you won't run into problems with that until your intake charges drop below 0 degrees F; so you'll never have to worry about that.

Why below 0 degrees F? Also, if it's too cold could the ecu be stuck in fast idle mode? I have a 160 degree t-stat on my car, and it idle really wierd. It will rev up to 2000rpm, stay there for a while and slowly drop down to norm. Then after about 20-30 sec, it will do it again.

I don't know why (or even if) it gets bad after 0 degrees, that's just what I remember hearing.

Below 0*, freezing point, condensation begins to occur... now I dunno how it works with cars - however if your computer with watercooling goes below 0, the pipes start to condensate and drip water... = bad for computer parts. :)
