[QUOTE="redneckengineered, post: 537598, member: 503"] Interested to hear what thermostat you guys are running in your LS motor, your cooling setup, and what temps you run. My LS 402 stroker had a stock 195 stat and would run 205-210 max all day long no matter how you treated it. We recently rebuilt that motor and threw a little more compression at it and HP. Same 195 degree stat. It now runs 210-220 and will climb to 230 when you're beating on it but then come back down to 210-220 fairly quickly. Rear mounted 31x16 Griffin, dual fans. I have a plenty of cooling capacity. Mast suggested I switch to a 160 degree stat. I ride a lot during the winter so I was also considering a 180 but wasn't sure if that even would make enough of a difference. I'd like to run around 200-205 degrees all the time ideally. How much of a change can you actually expect going from a 195 to a 180 or 160 temp wise? My fans run with the ignition so they do not cycle on/off with temps. [/QUOTE]
