    Hey guys,

    Well, time to flush the coolant, replace both belts, upper and lower radiator hoses, and the thermostat.

    I've done some reading... but what are you guys opinion on me using a 195* thermostat vs a 180* thermostat (both stant of course).

    Engine components are all stock... factory supercharger ect...

    I''m also contemplating the EGR delete.

    If you don't have the ability to change the fan settings for the 180 tstat then there isn't much of a point. Same with egr delete, it will through codes if you don't turn them off with a tuner. You also loose a little mpg when you delete the egr.

    This was discussed quite a bit; my old profile seen here. That was my evidence behind it.
