Paco's implied there was some downside to the delete, which I was not aware of. Only thing I can think of is it might take longer to get warm in the cold. Which it never has... Heat starts blowing in like 30s if I just release the brakes, but the engine never seems to get more than maybe 2 degrees above the thermostat. (IE like 205, on the stock 203). The 5-30 I have in it now I have seen hit 210 once. Tranny hasn't gotten much above 200 either. (Dungrees Frankenstein to clarify!)
