something else you can do that does work. You can drill several small holes in the factory Stat. the more holes the cooler the motor will run. Found out 4 holes netted 170* temps on a 408

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
Now THAT is good to know. I may just do that. Just to be sure tho, which disk do I drill on the stat? The side that inserts into the thermostat housing or the side that inserts into the water pump. Thanks a ton Quik
