Blueprint 408 cooling system questions.

Lotsa bullshit in this thread, but one thing I totally disagree with is changing to a cooler thermostat. No way in hell will that help. The thermostat has SQUAT to do with how hot an engine runs, yet you cannot tell people that who've got it stuck in their head otherwise. What I would recommend is either the stock 195 or the 180, BUT go with a good quality high flow like a Stewart.

Agree w/ that . My old hemi car made more power the hotter it got , always spun the 14 and 16`s when around 230 , tried to keep it around 190ish.
Bill Jenkins said in one of his books ''in the early'' prostock yrs. , that his engines made the most power right before they were hot enough to melt the added material he had in his heads ----------??
