Default Thermostat Change

ok, so a few weeks ago I put on a 3.5 pullley and FWI, now this weekend I am finally putting the 180* Thermostat in. Is there any other changes that I need to make to the car for the thermostat to run right, or is that it? Thanks, Brad

there is nothing else to do but put the 180* in.. your fans will still come on at a higher temp based on the PCM peremeters, but the t-stat on its own will make a difference while driving.

As stated above, Next mods would be PEMs/headers, high-flow cat, and a PCM

Ok, i am getting ready to do this in a few hours when the car cools down some, quick question, what are the advantages of a drilled t-stat? Thanks, Brad
