For those overheating with a stock/oem thermostat should definitely try running a lower temp thermostat, or even no thermostat. All these big radiators, fans, ducting, etc. can only do so much if the thermostat isn't opening up at a low enough temp. for your motor.

have you not read this thread at all? no thermostat can result in coolant flowing too quicly through the radiator to cool the liquid effieciently..... dont offer your 2 cents if you dont know what your talking about please....

A couple of my friends have used no thermostat/drilled out thermostat at the track and their temps were fine. So i guess my own two eyes and previous posts in this thread are not good enough to verify that it can work in some situations depending on your setup.

I'm not trying to get in an argument here but I was trying suggest that those with oem thermostat that are overheating/high temps could try to run a lower temp thermostat to cool the temps with a secondary less recommended choice of a drilled out/no thermostat, my intentions of the sentence was to focus mainly on running a lower temp thermostat. I guess i just worded it badly. Just offering my thoughts and opinions on what i think is one of the best cooling mods(opinionated topic). Just my opinion and 2c , take it or leave it.
