Mr. Gasket 'Stat Number
Hi.
I am looking to replace the thermostat on my '08 LS3. The Hi-Flow BALANCED thermostats seem to be the way to go.
The Mr. Gasket Site says:
Mr. Gasket #720-6368 Hi-Flow Thermostat 2004-11 LS1/LS6/LS2/LS3/LS7 2004-11 Corvette
However, I thought the LS3 stats are different than the LS1/LS2 stats. Is this true?
Any thoughts on these new Hi Flow Balanced thermostats?
Thanks,
M...

becareful with the MR.G quality
i have had a few that are subpar
bad opening ranges despite what it was packaged as and stamped as
other people have had similar issues too (you'll find many links on google)
as for balanced sleeve types, they open with the flow direction of the coolant and slightly large opening area as well to help circulate more (great for high volume pumps or underdrive pulleys)
im my use, i have always seen improvements with them, but the robershaw ones were better quality wise in my opinion and experience
i was unaware they made them for the LS motors
wish they would make the 170's again
