Static is whats on the t stat, and its Start to open temp.
Dynamic is its full open temp, which is dependent on the cars cooling system.
Typically the Dynamic is 10 -12 degrees warmer than the Static rating at operating temps.
Verified in a pot on the stove as well.
Putting in a Lower temp T stat often HELPS cars as they get a head start on keeping the temps
down and the stat is wide open at 10-12 degrees above its rating and is below 195, which is what you want.
Only in an ideal world with low octane fuel, 8.5 or under CR and very very efficient cooling
will a Pontiac V-8 run at the static rating of a T stat.
Of course if you don't have a factory Fan shroud, you are in a league all your own with money and amps and defying actual science.
