[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16533007, member: 116684"] I've got a similar stat setup but I run the 180 deg F one. Ford really liked to run these engines hot in the 200F+ range. I don't have data for these specific engines but usually atomization isn't ideal at 160 deg F and below- it's a lot better at 180 deg F and above. In my drive cycle it's usually more cooling package/fan controlled than thermostat though. But I also don't go out that much when it's real cold. [/QUOTE]
