    Hi. I wounder if anyone tried this instead of stock 195F thermostat. I remember that RKSPORT sell 175F for camaro's and claim bit of gain. The reason i want to do this is to keep my coolant low enough this summer and get a bit more hp gain. I know i will loose some fuel economy tho. Did anyone tried this?

    I'd be surprised if you didn't lose power, nevermind gain power...

    Looks like you're SOL. I certainly never have and never will run a t-stat like that. Might wanna ask on AW...
