>From what I've read yes the higher the comustion chamber temp.
the greater the amount of NOX generated.  Coolant temp. has
very little to do with this.  Your talking about a 1000+d temp in
the chamber being cooled by a 160-190 cooling system.  
  If anyone really cared about a good thermostat. they'd be
marketing one like the Fiat Spyders run.  That is recirculating,
never closed, and with a vane that directs the coolant from recycle
to radiator.  One T-fitting and a couple pieces of hose, is all that
needs changed. 
  
Geez guys, your gettin Doc Hyper
