yes....and if you would have read the post RIGHT BEFORE MINE, you would have noticed that the guy was talking about a "dummy" gauge, which is why I said ""HOPEFULLY u r right!"Stephen Cruikshank<br /><br />Selling some stuff so all I have left is the FRA, !MAF Screen, whisper lid, Holley PowerShot, 3\" catback, and 160* thermo on the car<br /><br />I Practice Street S.M.A.R.T.S. - do you?Comment

i've never heard of a dummy gauge but i installed a 160* and it never changed. it wont. your computer isnt tuned for it.Comment

I changed mine to 160. Only in standing (or slow) traffic y guage goes close to 190. highway its 2 ABOUT 160-170. i SAY big improvement. Although i did read somewhere that optimal temp for an engine is 170 for max performance.

The dummy guage started in 99, at least on the Z28s. I don't know about the sixers.1995 Patriot Red T-Topped Z28 A4<br /><br />Mystery rebuild in progress.<br /><br />Soon to have 383 ways to beat KBreezy and Shane. :DComment
