Great work, Ted.

I enjoyed reading this thread. The KB makes great power and I really respect the tuning that you did for this car, Ted.

Should be the 2.8L with no more mods then are on the car.

Notneb · 10-25-2010, 12:00 PM

If it's a 3.6 then he'd have to have an aftermarket hood, the 3.6KB doesn't fit under the stocker.

Nice work Ted. Am confused to why you want to put a stock tstat back in the car... Is the KB that much cooler of a blower that it is not warming the motor up as fast as a maggie would?

It is a 2.8, I don't think we will be offering a KB Option since they Have NO Dealer Program, they sell direct to everyone at the same price.

If I can't make any money I can't carry it.

We carry:

Vortech
Magnacharger
Whipple
Edelbrock
Procharger
Garrett

First and foremost this is an Aluminum engine, and it needs to be up to operating temps in order for all the clearances to be correct.

It also dramatically affect Fuel economy and driveability, this is still a daily driver.

I have never seen any gains from running the engine colder than 195, in fact just the opposite.

Everyone is under the impression that a Thermostat is responsible for cooling the engine, this is False.

The Thermostat is there to Warm the engine up Quickly, the Fan and Radiator are there to cool the engine, You can only cool the engine down to the fan settings which is limited to 190.

True, idk my car with the maggie would run consistently too warm and would kill power. Threw in the colder stat, and it keeps temps in the 190 range now. Thank you for the explanation though.

So true! Do you know how many mechanics/shops I've seen that they think Thermostat is used to cool the engine?
