Well, stock thermo's are 225/220, but the Advanced Auto Parts replacement is 195/192. I guess the 20 degree difference would help a little since down here we just don't get a breakaway from heat & humidity levels during the summer. The thermo is still in the box unused so it's far from unreturnable. I just think I am going to go back to my more efficient 210/200 cooling fan operating temp (you're right, the thing never turns off) from the first SCT tune, and get the 192/195 AAP replacement thermostat, that way reducing operating temperatures while still retaining most of the cooling system's efficiency.
Very informative posts guys, it's a pleasure to receive advice from 3 of the biggest masterminds of this forum: Stazi, Greg, and Tom. Many thanks guys, this thread is definitely going down in the search books to help many a CEGer to come.
