[QUOTE="ModularSpeed, post: 12331256, member: 56332"] Because a 180-185 stat in the upper hose will run similar temps to that of the 170 stat in the lower hose. I have done extensive testing on this topic.When you have XXX degree stat in the lower hose, you will let XXX degree coolant into the engine, then you are relying on the engine itself to actually control what temp it decides to run at. This is why the temp you read from your coolant temp sensors on the crossover tube coming out of the engine, are always higher than the stat temp. If you get a chance, go get your car up to full operating temp, then datalog a full 1/4+ pull, ensure you make a full 4th gear pull. You will notice a drastic raise in temp. If you put the stat in the upper hose, whatever rating the stat is....it opens at....in turn, your engine will only get as hot as the stat rating. Simple, very.....yet kind of hard to explain at 7:30 AM. [/QUOTE]
