|    low-temperature thermostats    |

      From: pedro1492@lycos.com              I spotted a listing on eBay what claimed:       Available for all new style LS series engine that have a separate thermostat       and water neck. These thermostats are available in 160, 180 and 195°F       temperatures to suit any application. Mr. Gasket's 2005 Pontiac GTO test car       gained 5 hp with the 180°        unit.              Surely if you were testing maximum power on a dyno, the engine would warm up       beyond the standard 195 degrees. How can it make a difference?       More likely the extra HP came from somebody turning off the aircon.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
