Hey I'm new here... This is my first post. I was wondering if anyone has positive or negative things to say about a 160 degree thermo? I know theyre cheap but im just wondering if theyre even worth what they cost??? Let me know. Thanx!

Just thought I would put in some numbers for yall to see... didnt know I had to!
Best Time: 15.91 @ 86.03mph
60': 2.32
1/8m: 10.20
Are these times good??
Hot track (about 80 degrees)
3.42 gears (stock), stock intake, exhaust cutout behind y-pipe... 120,xxx miles.
Let me know about that too..

Nope, those are rel slow for an experienced driver. I run 15.2 bone stock, but my mph of 91.4 is a 14-sec capable mph... I just couldn't launch well :D
Now, 160 thermo, yes get one. If you have an 01+ model, you'll need a resistor from me to keep the PCM from freaking out, otherwise just the thermo is all you'll need.
Install guide is on my website, see below. MANY topics on this in the gen tech forum too. Goodluck, email me if you have any questions, I'll be much more detailed in anwering them.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

Hey thanks for the help, do you think i will need one in my 96? Also those times were from oklahoma, where the elevation is NOT ideal for racing. The temp also as i said was very hot and i was running about 210*. My car also has 120,xxx miles on it. So Ive heard that if I go down to dallas where the altitude is much more forgiving and the temperature was about 60*, I could easily pull off a 14.9-15.2. Let me know if you guys think that altitude will make that much of a difference...
Also about the thermo, did you see any difference in your performance, or 1/4 times? And where will I have to put a resistor if I need one?1996 CamaroRS <br />15.5 @ 86<br />Sold<br /><br />2000 Z28 Convertible 3700lbs<br />Lid, Cutout, yank 3600 Stall, built trans, snall cam, NX Wet kit.<br />11.3 @ 118<br />Best 60\' is 1.58<br />497 RWHP 475 RWTQComment

He said you'll need a resistor if you have a 2001 or newer. Your cars are older than that, so you don't need them.

Thanx do you think that it will make much of a difference in my 1/4 times? I want to get low to mid 15's, any suggestions?1996 CamaroRS <br />15.5 @ 86<br />Sold<br /><br />2000 Z28 Convertible 3700lbs<br />Lid, Cutout, yank 3600 Stall, built trans, snall cam, NX Wet kit.<br />11.3 @ 118<br />Best 60\' is 1.58<br />497 RWHP 475 RWTQComment
