Installed a 160 degree thermostat from Livernois today. Saw a nice drop in IAT's and cylinder head temps. Should work well here in the Arizona heat.

How long did it take you to install?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing since I also live in AZ down in Tempe.

- Thank you!

It's pretty easy, took me about 30 minutes.

Any reason to do the 160 over the 170? The 160 Evenflow is much cheaper than the Reische 170, but I'm curious to the advantages or disadvantages of both.

I went with the 160 over the 170 in hopes that it would keep my temps down while waiting in staging lanes. I didn't feel the 170 was much lower than the stock 177. So far I am very happy with results.

have you considered not leaving your engine running in the staging lanes?

I don't leave it running. You still have to constantly move up in line though.

They don't let to do that at the track here in AZ. Guess one too many people hit the car in front of them not looking where they were going.

Mike, I need to do this, then figure out a way to get the intake temps down from 150 in the staging lane...
