170 Thermostat?

I read some of that, and it’s just not true that higher coolant temps make more power.

…says the guy who thinks he heard that there's a 200° maximum red limit line and stuff, and just took that as gospel truth.

Of course I'm just joshin' ya; I fully realise that whatever opinion you want to make up and hold obviously beats the smelly ol' laws of physics and thermodyamics and other egghead stuff cool kids don't care about. Hey, has anyone ever tried a negative 170° thermostat? Who's to say it wouldn't work? With it opening way below zero like that, why, just think how far from the maximum red limit line you'd be, and how many more extra horsepowers you'd make that way!
