mod, 180 thermostat. THis group has helped me immeasureably, but also
affected my pocketbook severely too. I have the Quick D, the F&B TB on
order, the Leach headers on order, and thinking about the dual

yes and no. it really won't do that much for you. your engine compartment
is gonna be hot with or without the thermostat.. a lil less with a 180
degree stat, but with weather in kansas averaging 60 this past month, the
therrmostat has proven to offer me NO power advantage, i betcha it's runnin
in open loop because it doesn't reach the right temp.. it's 10 bucks for
the gasket, gasket sealer, themostat, but it's a real @#%$% to install. they
can't find a harder location to place the darn thing.
