Yea, but the car runs like crap until the temp gets up to about 180. I'm guessing what is happening is the bypass is allowing enough flow to keep the engine temps below the opening temp of the thermostat. Chas's idea about a 195 t-stat soungs good but that will not really change my problem. Does everyone agree that the bypass is allowing enough flow to keep the engine temps below that of the opening temp of the t-stat? I can't figure any othe reason for this to happen. I'm gald I don't have overheat problems but performance suffers, especially with aluminum heads when engine temps are low.
