Does anyone know why they want to get a cooler t-stat? Do you know why you want your engine cooler?
The entire colder t-stat idea is to prevent KR. The colder the engine is, the less KR you should get. But if you mod correctly and tune your car, you should not have any KR to contend with. Thus you should be able to run a stock t-stat and get better mileage and better performance.
My personal opinion is stick with a stock temp t-stat.

Excellent point. Most folks do not want to take the time to "think" about what they are doing to their car, and why.Originally Posted by Zef_66

you do know cars are faster when the engine is colder, right?

It's simple, the colder the air getting into the cylinder the better. It might be minimal gains but some people take what they can get. How many of these gtp's around here are honestly modded correctly? I can tell you pretty much everyone has kr, so that'll never happen. Everyone thinks it's ok to have it...it's a $10 blanket imo worth every penny.

Only if the car is set up for it, and even then engines are typically most efficient right around 200°F.

Efficient for what? Gas mileage? That's pretty much it. 14.7 is a perfect burn, but not for wot it isn't, unless you want the perfect burn hole in your piston lol.
