thermostat
I see things about changing the thermostat to a 180* one. Does this take a lot of work? or is it easy. and is it worth it? and does anyone have a recomended place to get one at a good price?

it is a very simple mod
you can go to your local auto-parts store
it is very worth it if you have a L36 for intake faliures
and L67'* it helps supporting mods like pulley and such

A thermostat shouldn't be any more then $10 at a local autoparts store, I belive it'* 2 10mm bots that hold the housing down. It'* pretty straight forward to change. I also reccomend you replace that paper gasket if you change it too.
