TB bypass not done. Might do it tonight when I do the T-stat gasket since I will be messing with coolant anyways.

What if any are the positive reasons to install a low temp t-stat?


I recommend doing the bypass. Make sure when you replace the bolts in the thermostat neck you use sealant.

As far as the t-stat, this is the debate for ages. Honestly. My personal opinion is that on a stock motor with a correctly maintained cooling system it's not necessary. If you went lower, that's a personal choice, but 180 is the lowest I would go on an L98. (L98s use 195 stock, LT1s use 180). Without reprogramming your fans like Andy said you probably won't see too much difference.
