Well it would seem to me that with all the computer experts around here
somebody would come up with a control valve that could could be
programmed for whatever usual running temp, with a switch of some sort
for a performance mode that would run temp down to 160??

I can vouche for this personally, I got "smart" and put a 160f thermostat
in
my GM TPEFI and it fell flat on it's face as far as economy goes. Put the
195f back in and magic, no problem. Now I have thoughts of running it
right
at 219F, just below fan turn on temp. A kind gent sent me some info on
just
what it takes to run at the high temps. He mentioned a guy that ran an
engine temp of 250 or 300F, I think. The main problem was he had to use
100%
pure ethylene glycole with no water what so ever. Water would flash to
steam
and create abnormally high radiator pressures.

Aint it cool'
