Your thermostat opens up at a lower temp therefore keeping your car cooler. It will not use more fuel.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

A car runs more efficiently when hot, a colder thermostat is of no benefit unless you are running forced induction.

[MACE]

The main genuine benefits of running a cooler thermostat on these engines, is mainly for power consistency and engine preservation. In particular engine seals

It should already be tuned such that the fans come on earlier

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I've got the mace 82deg thermostat, but need the tune in the new year!. Mine runs ultra cool, and the only time (and its rare) my fans come on is when im stuck in built up traffic on a hot day and its bumper to bumper.

It generally should, however it's not the end of the world, as the thermo does an excellent job as shown below

there's a whole host of things that get changed in the tune when a 82 deg thermostat is used depending on model some maybe, things like ESC/Knock Functions, DFCO(deceleration Fuel Cutoff), Lean Cruise, Idle Airflow Learn Functions, Canister Purge and Closed Loop Warm Restart cutin points and obviously Low/High Thermo Fan Functions.

Can you have it pop and burble more on down-shifts?.

[The1]

shot a nos? lol

[STL17]

Get a cam hahaha

[MACE]

Cam would certainly help

[Full Spectrum]

shot a nos? lol

lol.. pop there goes $10.

get a cam hahaha

If i got a cam i would never get another car lol.

It gives a nice burble pop around around 2000rpm which i find nutty?. Also only have the single muffler which i thought would be loud and growling and its not.

[The1]

perhaps get decel fuel cut tuned to how you like it, so they revs bounce with fuel it may burble more then

[VR38]

Pop and burble is due to lean overrun. Worth an easy 15rwhp on the wank factor.

I've got to get Steve to give me a tune for the 82deg thermostat so i might inquire a bit more.

Only 15rwhp , I'm going to need more wank factor than this .

just one more question, with the mace throttle bodys i see you can now get a tune fore the larger ones, is there a send back and get retuned option? or would i have to rebuy a tune if i was to get the throttle body?

thanks

Depending on the memcal supplier at the time, and if a the throttle body is purchased from us then this can be arranged at no cost. The absolute worse case it will be around $80 to update the tune.

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.
