That'* why I haven't jumped to the 180 stat...gets cold here. But I'm worried about the summer, so I just don't push it.

I really don't see why you guys are so worried about your cars overheating in the summer...
Maybe I am missing something, but mine never gets above 225 or so while sitting still. When rolling, never above 200...
I think you'd be better off with the fan mod...

Said before..will say again. SC creates a ton of heat. Unless you've pullied...I don't see a reason.
The NA'* would only try to prolong the upper by trying to stay cooler. Although if you ask me..exhaust still heats to the same temp for the EGR pipe and will still break down the upper.

But... now put that on an SC engine. SC'* building up so much heat when you work them..if you wot for a moment you can jump 10 degrees for a few moments. If you jump from 183, you hit 195ish? And likewise from 200ish.
Add to that traffic etc. and the cooler stat will keep you cooler for a while until temps build and fans kick on. Here'* where the pcm programmed to turn on fans lower comes in nicely.
