180 degree T stat from Hypertech
I was going to buy Hypertech 1015 180 degree Thermostat, their catalog says it fits 2002 or earlier LS1's. Will this work on my C6 Z06?
I had an 01 Z06 and had a 160 thermostat but I felt it took to long for the car to warm up.
Vendor recommendations OK too. Thanks in advance!

I stove tested several brands of tstat and the only ones that opened correctly were the stock one and the Lingenfelter 165. I'm not sure what your goals are but I didn't see any difference in running temp vs stock with a 180 stat.

Your Z06 has 186.6 degree stock. what do you think you're going to gain with 6.6 degrees, besides nothing. I have run 160's LS motors since 1999. never a problem. Put a 160 in. So it takes more time. Are you in a hurry? The long range benefits far out weigh the extra time it takes to heat the motor.

Thanks!ANY VENDOR ON HERE I.E. ECS,LPE,CALLAWAY can sell you a 160 stat for around 25-30 bucks shipped.Then you get a DIABLO and adjust the fans to come on sooner and thus the car runs cooler.They tell me it makes a little power or something,but I'm not 100% convinced!
