these engines are most efficient at around 200° F, a 160 is good for a drag only car but that's it. You should atleast have a 180 for a regularily driven car. Especially in Oakville you need to get that machine up to temperature.

good luck with that

I used to run a stock thermo, but with the chip installed, it specifically said I had to run a 160 deg thermostat, so I put it in. Car idles better and runs great.

I agree, on a stock car you should use ONLY a 192 deg thermostat, but once you start modding...
