Re: Thermostat questions

Everyone has an idea of what is right. I run a 180 degree Superstat in my 383 stroker engine in my 84 truck. I also have a BeCool radiator and electric fans. I get a steady 15 MPG from a truck with a stroked engine, 3:73 gears, 700 R4 tranny, that has a 2400 stall converter, and a low profile tire. I would consider this to be relatively good for a truck that has a T/stat at that low of temp. It is up to you, but the HP will respond to the cooler temps.
