Question on Thermostat Replacement changing the thermostat to a 180 deg

Interesting that you have no discussion of changing the thermostat to a 180 deg ....
I have used them in all my street and race cars and the vehicle as you would expect just runs cooler ..

Most people are going to want to keep the factory thermostat installed to maintain lower emissions and proper fuel economy.

Thanks for the feedback and tip. I think for the right situation it makes sense, ie a track car.
