Rich, it's an Earl t stat. Seems to be performing as advertised. When I inspected it, one cooler port is open all the time. If that wasn't the case, you could have a pressure drop upon t stat opening along with temperature shock. Worked great today. Car didn't get over 195 and we were running it back to back with heat soak.

Dad and I had a blast today. We lucked out and ended up in a huge lot and my best tiem was 75 seconds! When we walked the course, I specifically told him to be careful through a section. It was pretty straight and had a fence about 30-40 yards from the corner. I let him take the first run and he's barreling down this section and we damn near went through the fence. Jumping in my car and going fast isn't a cake walk. He ended up doing pretty damn good. He was about 8 seconds off my best lap. He afforded me the luxury of giving him hell until his dying day. He took out about 8 cones at the finish line. My spoiler is in pieces at Las Vegas motor speedway. He came out of the last corner and got a little greedy on the loud pedal. The rear end went one way and the other and you can guess the rest. I'm pretty certain it's payback for that 6k launch in his 199x Jeep Commanche that scattered his rear end. HA HA He was pretty jazzed at the end of the day. He drives one of them limp wristed C6 LS2's.
