Running no stat, the water passes throw the radiator too fast, not disapating/exchanging heat transfer,.....so you could actualy run hotter,...




I don't believe people still believe this old wives tale.




I used to post and post about how this is not true. I finally gave up. The only way it could possibly be true is if without the stat it created cavitation sufficient to slow everything down. I don't think so. Kim


....no stat here...and no overheating ..or cooling problems either...car idles for 7-10 minutes it might get up to 190 or so,..waiting in staging lanes on a 90 degree day.still no issue..it's never been over 225 even after hot lapping on hot humid day...i run a typical elec. water pump drive and use a cooling fan module out of a honda accord...
