[QUOTE="TwizzleStix, post: 1880092, member: 32095"] Welp, you are correct in that the oem sets engine temp for best emissions and fuel efficiency. However, the “best power” is obtained and sustained at a bit lower temp. The oem target temp is 210 deg and with stock settings puts high speed running temp in the 215-220 range. I prefer the 180 vs the 170 because the 180 is closer to the actual “best temp” of 190-200 deg plus it’s easier to sustain that best temp with stock cooling system. My high speed running temp in any weather is 203-208 degF which it right where I want it. At low speed light load it will drop into 195-203 range. In my experience you’ll need to adjust several tables related to grill shutters and radiator fan operation. I’m sure Goose will set you up properly with any temp, but there are definite short and long term advantages to lower (than stock) temps with zero disadvantages, if you run at least the 180. The 170 certainly isn’t a “problem”, but it allows the engine to run “too cool” such that your heater may not work well in 20 degF or lower ambients. Know that when I lived in the “Deep South”, I ran 160 t-stats! [/QUOTE]
