I'd verify state of tune, fuel mix, etc. Most stats begin to open at a certain temp and are fully open at a higher temp.
The giggle valves or small holes in the stat are good for allowing air bubbles to be displaced out of the engine into the radiator where coolant top up will take care of the potential level loss. This makes sure the system is working as it should.
Running too low of a stat or none at all can cause heat issues. Essentially the same thing to varying degrees (depending on temp range of stat) happens. Let's look at the 160 in your example above. The engine and coolant start off cold. In this condition the stat is closed and allows the coolant to circulate in the engine absorbing heat. When the engine coolant side gets warm enough the stat starts to open until it reaches a certain temp when it is fully open. The coolant from the engine side now flows into the radiator and displaces the coolant that has been sitting in the radiator and essentially pushes or flows it into the engine. The design of the system works in that the lower temperature radiator coolant is now flowing into the engine and that lower temp now causes the stat to close again thus holding the lower temp coolant from the radiator in the engine to absorb heat. The hotter temp coolant that was initially in the engine is now being held in the radiator where the heat is transfered to the radiator fins and it has a chance to be cooled down by the fan and airflow with the car moving. Then the cycle starts all over when the engine side gets warm enough.
In the instance when the stat is too low as in the 160 above, the coolant is flowing out of the engine and into the radiator, BUT.....the coolant in the radiator has not been there a sufficient time to cool down below the min temp of the stat. So, as the system builds heat from start up (as all do), eventually the point is reached where the stat ends up staying open the entire time and not giving sufficient time for the coolant to "rest" in the radiator and transfer that heat to the cooling fins of the radiator to be cooled by air movement. The system just continues to flow in a big circle with little chance for the coolant to be cooled down by the radiator so it keeps building heat.
Hope that makes sense.
The numbers you list for the 195 do not look out of this world. It sounds like you cooling system with the 195 is working correctly. I think I'd just check everything over in general to ensure it is as it should be. If you have a fan clutch is it good, radiator fins not clogged, mix correct etc. I'd ensure you have a good radiator cap on the system as this helps control heat through pressure. I tend to run 13 to 16 pound caps depending on the car.
From there I'd honestly look, as I said, at the state of tune. Lean, timing, fuel supply etc. for your run issues.
