180 degree Thermostat

[IXLR8]

My Daytona seems to run at around 215 degrees. It is hot here in Houston, I would like to run it a little cooler, I thought the thermostat would do the trick. Where do you get one? Does anyone have a part number? Is it easy to install? Does Dr. Z need a hairpiece? So many questions....

Mine also ran hot; the OEM T-Stat is 203 degrees. I ran the NAPA 190 for a while and now I'm running the Stant 180, with no issues. Some will argue that the T-stat shouldn't vary from the stock 203 degree T-stat. It's a very debatable topic and you will see many threads discussing this.

If you decide to mod you’re after a 2.5 inch wide (63mm) T-stat.
