Is this bad? Iv been told you get more power and better gas mileage if it run slightly warm.

Mine runs in-between "N" and "O" in NORMAL...is this too cold? or is it fine? should I not worry about it? Iv got aftermarket heads, cam, intake, etc.

thanks!

I dont think that is cold. I have a Fluidyne and a 180 stat. I almost never even get up to the N in Normal. I think thats like 180 on my gauge.
