You're comparing apples to oranges here with the nascar thing....Do you rebuild you're engine every time you come back from driving you're car?? Nascar does....why dont you?
Guess you don't belive in cold air intakes either huh? Just a big gimmick??
Go ahead and unplug that fan on the computer that you're typing on right now....see how long it lasts....Why do you think the computer rooms that the test equipment run in on military bases are ice cold? Come on man...Heat is a killer of almost everything....even people...
Ever heard of heat stroke?
AGAIN...i'll agree that you probably won't see an increase in fuel economy...and that adding a thermostat wont give you any kind of performance increase. I personally belive that it won't even combat KR...
You say the coolant doesent sit in the heads? You're wrong. Coolant sit's in the entire engine untill the thermostat opens...What you think it just by passes the thermostat somehow? Thats what it is there for. To stop coolant flow untill a certain tempeture is met.
If you want to prove you're self wrong next time you're out before you start you're car up for the first time take the upper radiator hose off...No coolant comes out while the engine is running until the thermostat is open. Therefor what is the coolant doing??
SITTING!!
