thermostat worth it?

[Ju5t_B3at_Me2005]

well i was over w/ a friend of mine at the local murrays speed and custom today, and found a 160* thermostat for my car. its only 11 bux. i was wondering first if i should look for a 180* thermo (if they make one for us?), and second, is it worth it to buy now? i plan on getting my intake soon, only other mod is a WS6 exhaust...for now. i plan on modding a lot more down the road, should i get the thermo now? how long does it take to install? i can do it myself right? please reply back to me soon, thanks.

Down there in Miami, I would go with the 160*. As for the northern (colda$$) states in the winter, I went with 180* because I want a warmer temp in the car.

Yes, it's worth it. Simple. See this link for the best install instructions anywhere especially for 2001 and up F-bodies with the V6: Dominic's Thermo Install Page

It's worth it, I would go with 180 though.

awesome, thanks guys i'l look forward to installing the sucker over the next week or so. great mod at a great price i guess huh? btw it's a mr. gasket brand if that matters any... as an aside, do they only make throttle body spacers for the M5's?? i asked the guy at murrays today and he said there arent any for the GM 3.8....but my friend guessed he didnt know what e was talking about. please email me with info on that subject, as i dont want this to be moved to intake/exhaust (info: before, after butt dyno tests, how much $ did you feel a lot of low end torque gain? thanks again)

You can get a Stant Super Stat for like 4 bucks...

They work awesome.
