ever since my new motor my car seems to run cool, and its not just because of the outside temps, when im around town it seems fine although it never gets above the N on NORMAL, but when i get err on the highway crusin' around 70, she really cools off, there is basically no heat, and the temp gauge really drops! if i have the blower on high, i have to shut off teh fan to save the heat up lol. With my old, slo motor i had a 180' stat, and when i swapped in the beast, i put in a stock 195 cause i forgot about the cooler one. im just really worried about winter when its cold and im freezin' slidin sideways over the bridge. i guess this is a blessing cause many peeps have problems with these thingys running hot. i dont know what do you think.?

My car was the same way. When I did the performer install and took out the thermostat, I found al the parts to the thermostat lying in the lower intake there. Worth a shot but most likely thats your problem.
