Re: thermostat

A lower temp thermostat won't do anything for power.
It (in conjunction with cooling fans set ot turn on at a lower temp) will keep your engine running cooler.

If you want more power, look into a cold air intake.
That will really wake your car up.

Also look into getting some NOS and other "racing" stickers. Each sticker applied to the car adds +5HP.

(In good humour).

Re: thermostat

a cooler running engine means you can run a very little extra advanced timing
but a thermo by itself probably wont add any HP/TQ
but if you get "Race" pedals that will add 20 hp!!
