BTW - Those hot spots you refer to are created from LACK of coolant flow, or lack of system pressure. NOT excessive flow...
Too lazy to pull your thermo out and find out real world results yourself? Go to a drag strip sometime and locate a few guys with expensive engines in quick cars that occassionally run on the street. You won't find a thermostat in their engine, or any restrictors. Why would they gamble their expensive engine over a cheap part?
What people are saying all of this? Next time you comment on an issue, come to the debate with first-hand experience, and not hearsay
