T-Stat recomendations!!
Now that the fan switch I installed works great,I can run either one fan or both fans manually,works great, keeps the temp around mid 190's even in the Desert heat of Vegas,My Question is what temp stat is the factory stat 195 degree?, and would I benefit from changing it to say 180 degree,or what is the lowest I can go without a powerchip installed,thanx for the Help...HaPpY MoToRiNg :cheers: :cool:

Use the 180. Your car will run at its operating temp no what stat you have. All a 160 degree stat does is lengthen the amount of time it takes to get to operating temp. 190 to 200. A 160 is fine for racing, but not continuous city driving.
