    It basically helps your engine run cooler. I have the 160° t-stat and mine generally runs at about 180° rather than 210° (&#39;normal&#39. A cooler engine is a happy engine. No performance gains to speak of, just opens up the t-stat a little sooner.

    Which helps with performance. Which is exactly what I did NOT say. See? Me either.
