[1st Gen Forever]

Yea, Everybody seems to run the 160* T-stat and we still run above 160. I'm sure that one could be debated like crazy because above 160 you'll be full open and circulating all the time not ever giving coolant time to sit still in the radiator.

I considered leaving my stock thermostat but in the end changed it because I could not find ONE high HP build example that kept the stock.

Some more data from our weekend of tuning:

DA was 4713’

Cruising IAT2’s were 22* above ambient, WOT through the gears was 154* that’s only a 34* delta!!!

Thursday we are going to VE tune the car to get AFR perfect during fast throttle transitions.

This was a mild tune 11.6:1 AFR and 17* of timing…

Now that Damon knows how the car responds it’s time to lean her out a little and add some more timing especially in the mid-range.

When the weather cools and DA gets below 1000’ expect 15psi and 20* of timing up top on 91 octane
