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.

Check out ebay to save some dough

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!
