Yea: Goodridge....., We will see about any warranty, a tad scary as well
Hi ,just joined the forum today. I've had my 2010 SHO for about a month and a half now. I went with the cold air intake, 3 wire airflow sensor, the programmer and down pipes along with a 160 thermostat. I was wondering if your car felt like it was running hotter after you installed the thermostat. Mine feels like its running hotter although the gauge doesn't indicate so and my fans kick on rather quickly. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I would check your coolant reservoir to make sure its full preferably above the TOP Fill LINE when the car is cold in the am.Mpcop68 said:
The 160-stat kicks on more often but stays on for a shorter period of time.IIRC. and is working as designed IMO. Z
How much coolant did you loose?
What is a 3 wire airflow sensor?
And the 160 Tstat shouldn't have anything to do with the fans alone...In fact if you are not running a tune then the fans would run less...If the radiator was efficient enough then you would not even need fans..Fans are a supplement and for optimum use of a thermostat programming is required because our radiators do not have the capacity to provide the level of cooling that a 160 thermostat is trying to operate at.
If you fans are over active then maybe they are set too low...Fan speed must be set about 5-10 degrees ABOVE the temp at which the thermostat is FULLY open...Many people struggle with the concept but if you have a 160 stat you really don't want the fans to come on at 160...Otherwise they are trying to cool to a temp that is never possible because the stat is not open.

Installed LED puddle lights. My driver's side mirror puddle lamp was blown so I figured why not upgrade.
I like it, has good area lighting beyond the logo, so it is fitting both uses.Gjkrisa said:How do you like it I like the idea but feel it may be a novelty item that soon after might be disappointedlamrith said:Did puddle lights on the sho.
