Why not just remove thermostat?

[KILLSHOTS]

I've seen colder thermostats for the LT5 discussed and they're apparently extremely desirable but tough - if not impossible - to find. I live in Phoenix and my car is just a weekend toy. We all know that a cooler engine produces more power. We also know that thermostats are basically only designed for 2 things: allow the engine to run "efficiently" (read: please the EPA) and to produce heat for the cockpit. I don't care about either. So can anybody think of a COMPELLING reason for me to retain my thermostat? Less heat soak, less wear on the engine, more power. Opinions?

Thanks!
