  • Stupid question but please humor me....hahaha

    I recently changed a blown head gasket and I think my car is still running a little hot. Right now I'm running with a stock thermostat. Can anyone tell me what temp there car runs at so i can compare?

    Thanks alot....

      Well my 2000 camaro m5 runs at 210 degrees. I think all of them do if they are stock.

              Only if you live in Florida. Those of us in normal climates run at 180. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
