[QUOTE="baugustine, post: 1349594, member: 31996"] Agree with everything you said. My comments about gauges were general in nature so other readers would be able to apply some of their experiential knowledge with how the things are engineered behind the scenes. A good tuner can also "tweak a lot of things", but unless there are specialty applications (racing, etc) I'm not sure why anyone would? Cruising at 80mph with ECT in the 205 to 220 range is exactly what it is supposed to do. Sitting in Houston, stopped on I-10, 105 degrees and 100 % humidity (w/AC on) will be a very different use case. That is one of the many use-cases where turn-on of fans becomes an issue. The original question about a 170 deg thermostat does not change, and the temperature when the thermostat begins to open and performance gains are a different topic. My answer, and the answer of many before me, was putting in a lower temp thermostat is a waste of time and money on this motor, and the driver will see no appreciable gain in anything performance-wise. I stick to that original position. [/QUOTE]
