Fuel injection likes heat in a motor - and despite our old fashioned beliefs... HEAT makes power... Also if you're running forged pistons - they like a little heat in 'em too - for "swelling" purposes I'm running a 195 thermostat in mine...

New Vettes are running the streets at 220...

Remember - it's not the temp you run at - it's the ability of the system to not let the heat get out of control... I don't want my heat to be like a yo yo - I want it steady eddie... a needle that doesn't move (much)... whatever the thermostat is - is where I want the thing to run.
