![]() I wouldn't run anything colder then a 180* one. I only use the stock 192* stat, and have had the best results with it.

![]() I agree, don't run anything colder than a 108*.
I run a 180* in the summer and a stock 192* in the winter. -Josh, aka the tireburner

![]() well i dont drive it in the winter with the excetion of maybe once around the block on a nice day, and in pittsburgh ill be lucky if there is one nice day during the winter.
the main thing is that a 180* will be ok and i wont have any problems.

![]() Drill two small holes 1/16 in the stat before you install it. One on each side of the bridge. This will allow air to bleed through when you refill it. Helps keep your system from getting air pockets.
