MY TEMP - ON A HOT DAY - WOULD GET UP TO 215 TO 220. WHEN WE CHECKED IT - WHILE READING 215 THE ACTUAL TEMP WAS 195.
I'VE SINCE INSTALLED A HYPERTECH PERFORMANCE CHIP AND THE ACCOMPANYING 165 DEGREE T-STAT. THE ACTUAL COOLANT TEMP STAYS (ALMOST FOREVER) AT 165 WHILE THE GAUGE READS 185.
Y'ALL HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY,

Hey BlackJack,
I must say this forum is an excellent resource. I really appreciate all the help. I also what to put a hypertech chip in my car. When I call hypertech they ask for VIN# so I give them the VIN and explain that the car is a kit car. They get all confused and can't help me. Do you have the part# of he chip you used? I also asked hypertech if there is a number from the computer I can give them and they NO! These guys are not much help. By the way where is the computer located in the car?
I'm also going to try to get Burns Exhuast to manufacture 321 S/S headers and side pipe flanges for the car Then I will finish the exhaust with some 12" S/S ultra light mufflers and TIG it all togather in the car.
Thank You Again for you help!
