[QUOTE]Originally posted by wilit: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by BCINGUU: [qb] Here are some facts: Fox motors are designed to run hotter because it reduces emissions, but it subtracts power and puts you closer to the danger zone if your engine overheats 180 is considered a good temp for a 5.0 motor, it's hot enough to run well but cool enough to reduce engine wear 160 is too low. The EEC-IV computer will keep your motor in open loop which means you will lose power and waste fuel Too hot is bad, so is too cool. You should choose 180 for better performance or 195 if you want to keep it stock and reduce emissions. [/qb][/QUOTE]This is exactly what I was going to post but figured I'd get flamed. Most new cars run at 210° normally to reduce wear and emissions. [/QB][/QUOTE]
