To me a thermostat is a maintenance item. It would be like paying $100 for an oil filter or something. You know it won't last forever.

I agree its a lot for a thermo but I can say this...Your fans will almost never run on the freeway so those will last a lot longer...If your cooling system is in good shape youll be pleasantly surprised at how cool it runs and a little more oomph from lack of heat soak. Im lovn it!
This thing ran all morning on the hwy at maybe 1/4 way up the gauge. At 40 mph+-1/3, tops. it allows the motor to come down to a temp it previously couldnt with the stock stat as it would want to close and keep the motor fairly warm. Different strokes...

Next time out Ill take some temp readings out of curiosity.

Well guys, by my count thats 3 for the t-stat and 4 for the pulleys. I wasn't sure if you guys would be interested in one or the other, or both. In any case, I'll give it a while to see if anyone else chimes in.

I already have a 160 thermo. Might be interested in pulleys but need more information.

Are the pulleys both under-drive and lighter? Anybody who has them, any ill effects on driveability, cooling, or electrical system? What's or where is the performance return?

yes, both underdrive and lighter !!
Randy himself used this on his black 386cid ZR1 , and his time was 10.8 sec. just imagine !

Ron, I agree you with highway ran, but when in traffic jam, my engine ran VERY HOT about 220 c. after 15 Min. by stoping and slow move !
I spoke with Randy about this isue. i think i should clean Radiator,or buy new Performance Rad. !

I may be interested in UDs. How much are we talking?

Aurora40 · 10-01-2007

Just curious, has anyone approached them about a possible GP on this?

I'd be interested in a GP on the pullies.
