When someone posts something as stupid as

"Does changing the thermostat to a cooler one help any? "

There is nothing else to do but poke fun and make them cry, as they obiously know nothing about cars or how they work.



The guy who originally posted this thread is not the same guy that asked about the thermostat. I think you can either poke fun and make cry those who need to be taught, or teach them. I prefer to do both, but sometimes I'm lazy so I only make fun.

Heat soak = the air going into the intake is too hot. The cooler thermostat will do nothing to cool down the air going in the engine. A heatshield would, but for some reason, the homes doesn't want to.

The only other alternative I see if you want to retain the open air filter is to run a Cold Air Intake. GMK on NECO makes them and you can PM him for pricing and such. If you do a search, you can get an idea of what a CAI is.
