which thermostat?

[deftsound]

I want to get a cooler thermostat but am not sure which to go with for maximum performance.

Do most people get 160 degree ones or 180? I'm wanting to upgrade here not replace with a stock unit...

I put in a 180* and it seems to be the most popular to go with. We definitely need help with our 100* summers that we have

Most people run 180's in their cars. I run a 160 and my car runs between 170 - 190.

The Ford part # is XL3Z-8575-AA for the 180 degree thermostat.

180 works best. on terminators the hot setup is to drill holes in the stock one, allows slight flow. plus if the car runs too cold it wont run as well.
