180* Thermostat???
Any of you guys running a 180* thermostat? Just curious because I've been thinking about going with a 180*, but I'm not sure if it would benefit my car or not. Any thoughts?

It might be a good idea for me to run one since I can only run 91 octane with the diablo tune. I don't have any detonation as of yet, but it might be a good prevention type of thing. Did you have to adjust your fan settings after installing the 180*??

running cooler is an unnoticable performance gain except that you can run more advance. I'm pretty new to fuel injection, does the computer change the fuel mixture any before it is warmed up? I know it does on startup but what temp does it go to a "normal" fuel mixture. My mustang warms up 10 times faster than my nova and my nova has over 800 hp, but it has no thermostat

I'm running a 180* thermostat on my Cobra. I think it's just a little insurance, and helps the car run cooler.
I know it's good for the Cobra's with the Aluminum Block and Heads, if Cylinder head temperatures exceed ~225 degee's the heads will warp.

Came with the Diablo
I got a 180 degree thermostat free when I bought my Diablo tuner. The idea seems to be that going to the premium (93 or 94 octane around here) tune and adding advance would benefit from the lower operating temp. Kenne Bell ships their supercharger kits with a 160 degree unit.
