^On that note, is there any imperical date proving that an individual absolutely is required to installed a 180* thermostat prior to loading a tune from Hemifever?

Dodge dude- I thought since I'm tearing stuff apart I'd just do the 180* t stat right away, just my thoughts.

Yeah, I understand that. It makes total sense. But I wanna know what will happen if you DIDN'T install the 180 before the tuner and ran a 190.

Let me guess. The Fire Marshal is an overweight, part imte - volunteer, with no training. Why do I say that? Becuase in EVERY fire there is evidence, and he should NOT be telling you not to report to police. ARSON IS A CRIME! ARSONISTS even kill people sometimes! Arson is a felony, and in some places, failure to report a felony is an offense.

And insurance companies are more likley to pay a claim if there is a police report, and often deny if there is no police report.

That Fire Marshall is a she@thead. Just saying.....

There is no impercial evidence – not even in the dictionary. There may not be empirical evidence either, but I would think that since the programmer is writing the tune based on 180 stat as a parameter for an input, it could effect the tune’s output. Based on that, I did not need empirical evidence to change to 180 stat. I just did it.

If you didn't install the 180 stat? It would not perform as designed.

Just from what I have learned...If you install a 180 stat without the tune, you may be burning rich as the PCM attempts to increase the engine temp. This would likely decrease gas mileage.

Argh.

Well, it would be a WHILE before I got an SCT anyway.
