We'll i just picked up a 170 Degree low temp. thermostat for my 3s. I was wondering if anyone else was using one and how they liked it. I bought the Gates 170 Degree Thermostat, looks like a quality thermostat, hopefully i can put it in tomorrow, but i wanted to post up on here first and see who was using one and how they liked it. not just the 3sgte but the 5s, 7a, any motor.

3S does run a little hotter, i have a 72 deg.C in my 7th gen and it runs at 72 on the Power FC commander. what the NHRA mechanic said is true but the 10 degree difference wont matter.

What he was referring to was how cold I said mine was running in the mornings, it would run like I didn't even have a thermostat until it got hotter later in the day. I wish I had an actual "temperature gauge" instead of a gauge that said "H" and "C" that way I could say the temperature in the mornings, it was almost at C it was so cold, and it stayed there until I sat in traffic or if it was a hot day.
