Hello

If you have a race application you can run without thermostate.

On street engines you always need a thermostate to have the engine run into the best temperaturerange. To cold is worser for the engine then to hot. So the best for the enginelife is a very short heat up cycle.

The thermostat is needed mainly for that but it also works as a pressure relief. However we have to use the FRAM racing filter as normal filters still can burst.
