Default Re: Running without thermostat

I live in south tx, it's hot! i run a 160, i dont think that effects my performance as far as making power, it might make it run a little rich, i've used 180's and stock t-stats, the 160 allows me to make the most power.
when idling in the stageing lanes with my pullies and all, it will get up to the first line on the factory guage, and thats using a 2800 cfm electric fan.

I posted in another forum about my friends car overheating, even with a 160 stat, im thinking he just needs a nice aluminum radiator to solve the problem.
