The theory behind the whole thermostat thing in general is more hp....will you get any or see any gains other than the temp needle not going as high...no...lol

so its pretty much pointless?

Well i have a 160 so i cant say that lol....i mean i dont see it hurting anything...a cooler engine usually lasts longer...but the fan will still come on at the same time because you dont have a tuner......so it would only help you when driving constantly....put 2 gallons of gas in your car for 8 bucks and call it a day lol

your on the right track....do reaserch before doing any mods (saves money)...and get more than one opinion....

Yeah, personally I used to run with a 180° stat up until recently. Anymore when I drive my car, I try to get the best mileage possible. And you will get better mileage with a stock stat. The 180° stat will cause lower mpg.
The idea behind it is to keep the engine running cooler, thus keeping the incoming air cooler and more fuel. Some people would also put them in to keep the engine cooler to combat KR. But if you have a CAI, you won't need to worry about the incoming air so much. And if your car is modded correctly, you shouldn't have to worry about KR. So it is really a moot point.
You can do what you want, but I will not be running a cooler stat, except for at the track.

Don't run a 160*, it's not good for the engine. 180* is optimal for performance and the stock for MPG.

F is your wallet screaming "f*ck!!!"
I just switched back to a stock tstat from a 180. Didn't notice any gains, and did notice a slight drop in MPG. An internal combustion engine is most efficient at 195* +/- a few, so that's why the stock tstat opens at that point.

ok i understand thanks for clearing it up for me every1. STOCK t-stat it is
