[QUOTE="Zorabot, post: 4823024, member: 29923"] [B]I might not be able to have a 160 degree thermostat in time for my dyno tune. I wonder if anyone knows how cold the car would run if I just gutted the thermostat essentially making the thermostat a restrictor washer ? I have a scan gauge so the temp could easily be monitored and if its too cold or too hot the 160* could go in. I know its low rent but I think it would probably run a nice temp, and $20 for a thermostat is kinda ridiculous. Summer car I do not care about heater output, furthermore hasn't running too hot killed more COBRAS than COBRAS killed running to cold ? Or will it run hot as hell because the coolant is passing thru the radiator too fast and not allowing the radiator to exchange heat properly/efficently ? Appreciate the opinions and expierence's guys :)[/B] [/QUOTE]
