I would highly not recomend that. Let me explain.


Although the only way a 180 stat will be bennefictial 100 percent of the time IS to get a pcm tune done and change the fan on/off settings. Although for the 100+ dollars you're going to pay is not worth it. Wait untill you get some other mods first. Then have it tuned.


So basicly the only time you're going to see lower temp is on the highway with the 180. I'n the city it will be near identical to that 195* stock thermostat.


BTW, With a 180* thermostat you will likley still see temps in excess of 190*. Especially when driving in the city.


With my 160 and the fan settings adjusted I see temps around 185* in the city.


And for the record the t-stat is not going to help you gain any horsepower. The only thing it may do is make the engine last a little longer due to the lower temps. But that is also unlikley. But that is the only reason I have one in mine,In hopes that it will.
