    I was bored and was browsing around PFYC and came across this?
    Hypertech PowerStat Thermostats - 3.8L V6 Engines - PFYC

    I dont know much about thermostats and was just curious about.
    What degree thermostats do stock GPs have?
    It looks like an inexpensive mod to do... if I were to do this how do you know which one to go with? after reading of the reviews maybe I should go with the 160 since I live in MI with the cold winters.

    stock thermo is 195*.

    i run a 180* thermo in my car. 160* is too cold for any setup, especially on your GT.

    the 180 would be good all year round?? cold MI winters and hot/humid summers?
    so if I were to get one, would the one on PFYC be a good choice?

    Just go to your local auto parts store and buy one. Don't waste your money on PFYC. I run a 180* during the winter, but once temps start creeping up around 80* or so here in the humid KC area...I switch to a 160*

    X2. You can save some cash by buying one at your local autoparts store. I was running a 180 for awhile all year long.
