I'm sticking with my stock stat until someone proves it's worth changing on these engines. Actually my truck has gone faster down the track after I hot lap it at least once in the cold weather. Even though it's still slow.

A few reasons I don't like 160 stats.......
- Running that cold doesn't allow the oil to protect the motor as well as if it were up to proper temp. Believe it or not, oil lubricates best between 210-230 degrees
- Warmer engines make more power when setup properly. Heat is the result of energy, energy is horsepower, the most heat you can generate keeping everything "stable" will result in the best possible combination of horsepower and engine longevity.
- No damned heat! It's -10 below right now people. I like to try and keep war,
