Thermostat holes?

Do any of you have this Diesel Giant modification? I've been reading that the new 80c thermostats actually don't open up until 90c and that would keep the car's temp around 95c and 100c. Is this true? If so, would drilling these holes help keep the temps down around 80c to 85c? Is it better to install a 70c thermo?

I still need to do a flush. I'm gonna have to take it somewhere to be done. I can't work with that much liquid on the street (I live in brooklyn, ny). I want to be able to hand the mechanic a modified thermostat to install while he's in there if need be.
