Cheapest place to get thermostat? Also some general questions on performance..
Im getting my superchips from ebay, but i figure i'll need to run a 180 tstat too once I get that, so i'm doing them both at the same time. Where's everyone getting their 180 degree thermostats these days? Got a website I can order them from? Cheapest one?
Also, whats the next thing I should do? I have the 3.9 v6.
So far, i've done:
K&N Cold Air Intake
Exhaust
4.56 gears
now i'm doing:
superchips 3715
180 degree thermostat
What next? I've got a blower that i'm putting on it in the summer, but what til then? I'm thinking headers, but thats really pricey.
Also, who has experience with superchips? Noticable gains? Worth the money? What all can you do with it?

Headers are really pricey, and you've already done a gear swap ($500 installed) and you already have a blower ($2kish on up)???
Just go to schucks/autozone/etc. for the thermostat.

Yeah, my uncle was a mechanic for 10ish years, and now works on cars as a hobby. Lucky me eh?
So yes, $400 for headers that i've heard don't really help that much.. 2-3 hp tops, is expensive.

the superchips may react funny to the mods, if u do your rearch.... superchips were created on a complete stock setup... including the the intake elbow on the airbox..... ijust have the k&n Wai... im getting the superchips programmer so, it shouldnt be to drastic of a change

ya, I noiced a good inprovement with my superchips. but I just like how you can clear codes with it.
and its designed for a basically stock motor, if you s/c it you will probly have to get a custom tune anyways. how much miles are on your truck? I would put a s/c on a high miles motor, unless your gonna rebuild it.

Are you fabricating the intake manifold? What are you going to do about fuel management?

I'd be interested in seeing the A/F ratio at 6/8 and your injector duty cycle. Stock injectors generally don't have a lot of room for increased performance because the bigger the injector the worse it aerates at low flow levels (typically) which hurts idle and low-rpm response. You're definately going to want to think about an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a higher flowing fuel pump.
