I believe it would tend to run hotter. Pure water has the highest specific heat capacity. For a given flow rate when you add E-Glycol this drops and the fluid temps rise. In addition the mixture does not pump as efficiently as pure water so there's another penalty. These cause heat, not cold. In either case it is not going to result in more than a +/- 5 degree difference in an automotive application.
Looks like you have a 160 thermostat and you probably need a 185 IMO. This is especially true if the engine is fuel injected ..................
