You running mechanical or electric gauges? Mechanical senders can get finicky.
Oil temps in general should run approx. 20* hotter. Two bottles of WaterWetter is probably 1.5 too much. Have had great success with WW...good product. If you are using a surge tank you should only fill it half way, otherwise you don't give air pockets anywhere to go. As for thermostats, if they were not necessary than every OEM would have ditched them decades ago and saved boxcar loads of money. Water pumps shouldn't have to be overdriven to work properly. Make sure the puller fan is properly sized and shrouded. My two cents.
