WhiteSS Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I have not changed my thermostat yet. Is it worth the hassle or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styleandspeed Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Really depends on who you ask. If you live in TX I would go for it, if you live in Alaska then I would not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion231 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Thermostat, he's right about the location. It will take longer for the vehicle to heat up in the winter, so unless you can survive off your seat heaters...hehe. The thermostat will really help in the summer, the engine temp will stay lower, lower temp means more power! May not be much but every little bit helps. I plan on doing one, as well as the TB bypass.

NateZ Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Yea, if it's hot its good, but best to do a tune with it, so don't do it til you decide to get a tune. Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A tune is not a "necessity" when going to a lower temp stat. Some will get updated tunes to allow for a hotter tune to go with a lower engine temp, but it is not something that has to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspeeddemon Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I have a 160 in my SS as well as my ZO6 and it works well in both vehicles, I have seen no negatives at all. The heater works well in both vehicles and they don't take any longer to get warmed up, the just don't heat up as much. This is good for the summer when my truck runs 180 or so pulling my boat and the Vette runs about 174 cruising down the interstate. It's about a half hour job to change it.
