New Hypertech! need 180 stat?

I just installed Hypertech on my 02 5.3. The installation manual suggested the 180 degree Powerstat for my engine. I programmed it for 87 octane, fimer shifts,and raised the speed limiter. It runs stronger and shifts firmer. It was worth it. I will install the K&N intake soon. What will I benefit from the Powerstat??? Thanks, Cliff

com'on guys. nobody's got an opinion on the 180 degree powerstat??

do you mean 180 degree thermostat?? or are we on diff tracks

Yea, the info with the programmer suggest using one and of course they offer one called a Powerstat. thanks,Cliff

what degree therm. do you have in your truck now??

whatever is stock

hmm, i think stock is around 200, so the powerstat will lower your running temp thus a little more power

Thanks
