Change thermostat when changing chip?
I´ve spoken to a a company back home here in Sweden that sells spare and performance parts for American cars. He said he could get a stage 2 Chip for my car, but that i should also change the thermostat. To get the engine to run cooler cause the igniton will run higer.
Is it necessary?
I´ve never heard about that when chipping European cars.

The reason for this is that they change the radiator fans turn on at a lower temp. If you run a 195 tstat when the PCM turns the fans on at 180, the fans will run all the time once the engine reaches operating temps.
