<< Yep, OBDII is restrictive, but not as much as many people think.
There is still quite a bit you can do. So far, I have an open element air
cleaner, MP computer, and a 180 degree thermostat in my '96, with no problems
or trouble codes yet. If you'll be installing a computer which advances the
timing, a 180 degree thermostat is practically a must to eliminate pinging.
I don't know if you'd want to go any lower than that; I've heard that the
computer likes to hit 180 degrees.

While on the subject of 180 thermostats, thought you might like to hear
something I heard today. I ordered my MP SBEC from Southoaks Dodge in
Thousand Oaks California. Talked to a guy named Troy and he told me to get
the NAPA thermostat, part number 169, because it is shorter then most
aftermarket ones. In turn this allows it to open all the way, as opposed to
binding against the water neck on the manifold. Thought that was interesting!
