Default Quick Diablo Predator Questions

In order to use the Diablosport Predator does it require a different thermostat other than the stock one? I ask because I was looking on www.rpmoutlet.com and they say a 160 or 180 thermostat comes free with a purchase of a Diablo Predator. What degree thermostat comes stock in a 03 GT?

no, you do not need another thermastat. I have one and do not need another one than the stock. You should be fine.

it is an easy way to change your stock computer chip.

go to http://diablosport.com/U7146.php
to see the full details. Endless possibilities and real time data that you can see on a laptop if you wish.

Get the thermostat! With the diablo, you can change the fans to come on cooler. Stock setting is 195 if i recall. The slightly cooler setting is nice, but to take full advantage of this you need a 180 degree thermostat.

They are cheap, though. A really nice one from SLP is only like $12.00.

I run a 160* with mine. Everyone else claims they make the mileage drop, I haven't seen a difference!
