  • Low Tem Thermostat

    How will it affect fuel consumption if I upgrade from a regular thermostat to a low temperature stat??

    Is this a recommended upgrade, or should I just keep using the stock one?

    Thanks

    you might lose or gain a mpg depending on how you drive, how cold it is, etc... Essentially more power will be made, more spark advance will occur, any temp related knock will disappear, and if you keep your foot in it you'll lose fuel economy [img]smile.gif[/img] Otherwise itll use the same amount or less than it has always used - mine went up.

    I think most 3.4 guys like them, unsure about it though. Its not expensive to try, if it doesnt get you anywhere sell it [img]smile.gif[/img]
