Actually that's more bad than good. 140-155 puts you in open-loop. A "good"
t-stat should close if the coolant gets too cold and open up again when the
coolant reaches the correct temp.

I did noticed on hot days it rides the 180 mark and cold days it rides in
the 140-155 mark. Amazing thermostat.

Hey Steve. Just for kicks, track your mpg at each fill-up. I just went the
other way with a 195 degree R.S. stat. to see if it makes any mpg
difference.
It would be cool to compare notes.

Ok. I finally managed to put in the Robert Shaw Thermostat 180 degree
version in and it runs great. The water temp gauge runs half way between
130 to 210 and no higher.
Next item to add this week is the Stage-II chip, headers, and the exhaust
system.
