[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 14095390, member: 124691"] I run a stat housing relocated to the upper hose, with a NAPA 160 Super Stat (1) 1/8" drilled hole. For the lower radiator hose/system - I run a modified Mach 1 block adapter (oil cooler is deleted) and a modified 99-04 GT Lower Rad. Hose. On the stat housing - I tapped in a pre-stat bypass.....which has assisted in getting the car up to temp quicker, as well as maintaining very consistent coolant temps. I also utilize the OEM Expansion Tank. I have been running the stat in the upper hose on all of my 4V cars, for quite some time. I have never experienced a negative issue - even when substantially decreasing hose size. My current combo is my favorite so far. It basically stays at 162-172 degrees based upon the ambient temp and cruising speeds. Of course, fan settings will play a large role in maintaining consistent temps, especially in southern states which can get pretty hot and muggy. My car has over 115K miles. I run 21 psi and also spray a 75 shot of nitrous to boot. The cooling system was the first thing I addressed when I bought this car with 112K miles on it.

And my homebrew bolt head welded to the bleeder for easier access. One thing I have always liked about the way I run my cooling systems.....is that I have never, ever gotten air pockets....or had to "burp" anything. Just fill and go! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
