thermostat removal

It depends. Of you don’t care about wasting power or detonation resistance then 210 is fine.

I’d rather get the cooling system in shape and run it at 180 and make more power and reduce detonation possibilities.

I agree w/ y rose , but mine dont run right untill it hits 190 to start with , I `m comfortable w/ anything under 210 ------
And that aint that bad in all seriousness if most everything is right .
