The cheapest supporting mod for a tune is a 180 t-stat, and Auto Zone sells one for like 12 bucks, yeah it might be a few degrees off but who cares.. Any good Tuner will see the actual coolant temp and use that to work with timing.
Sorry, I'm going to continue to shoot the bull until my intake arrives... maybe keeping this thread on top will educate people..
dont mine me..
The only thing that bothers me with the 180* stat is that where open loop and closed loop occurs. If it is 185* where closed loop starts then anything below that will require tuning to keep it out of open loop due to more fuel being dumped to try and warm the engine. Does anyone know what their oil temp is after installing a 180* stat?
