Default Performance tune and thermostat???
What thermostat are you guys running with your performance tunes? i've seen 160deg, 170deg, etc.

i'm running a 5.0.

What's the benefit/advantage of changing the thermostat?

run your engine cooler without running your fan all the time. if you are getting on the throttle often especially.

here is some information that i found very helpful. http://www.reischeperformance.com/tstatinfo.html

if you guys are tuning your trucks and not changing the thermostat, you're running hot and wearing out your fans... cooling your engine a little bit will add performance, increase efficiency, and prolong the life of your engine.
