well i went to a dyno with my Ohio GP club on saturday and here are my numbers and video. the video is with the cutout closed and there is only one that they shot. my camera decided to not record any sound . the reason the guy is shakin his head is cuz i had 4* of KR that ill be taking care of with my 160* tstat, colder plugs and 3'' DP which should all be on in a few weeks. the first 2 runs were with the cutout closed and the 3rd was opened. the car sat for about 20 minutes between runs 1 and 2 so it cooled off and the third run the car was heat soaked pretty bad so im guessin thats why the numbers werent great.

Nice numbers man.

Remote start won't help much once you start driving. You'll have to block off your grills to get it to stay warm if it gets really cold! 20 degrees or less maybe eve 32

ohio winters can be pretty harsh. last year we had temps in the -20*F. do you think i should have went with the 180* tstat?

Absolutely. You'll hate the 160* unit, and so will the car.

ya some heavy cloth
it's so you dont get an cold air in
and you have to block off the lower as well

I'd get a 180*. Fuel mileage will suffer with a 160*, as well. To be REALLY beneficial, make sure the fans are set to turn on earlier as well.

where can you get a tstat for $8? the only one i found was like $35 shipped. i dont have a tune what so ever. i know someone who has a 160* in and it didnt set a code.

Or run the 160 for the hotter weather, and in the winter time pop the stock one back in.

NAPA parts... ZZP prolly 15 shipped if not less.. 35$ is a rip off...
the 160* wouldnt set a code but it would b in there useless since the fans dont turn on till 200*F i think! someone correct me if im wrong.. i know that because when i put the 180* in my car without the PCM it didnt do kcuf all

what fuel are you using? Im currently using and don't plan on using anything other then 91+ octane. sucks being in N.Dakota not many places i know of that hae a Dyno, or if theres any GP clubs around here.

looked on napa's site and all they had was the OEM tstat. zzp doesnt have one for the GXP.

i run 93 octane everytime i fill up.
