[QUOTE="Jr. Corvette, post: 154616, member: 1906"] Interesting point. It made me question weather you would achieve better cooling with or without a thermostat. Here is quote from an article about the benefits of increasing collant flow / pressure and the benefits of doing so. "Generally speaking, higher flow and higher pressure is beneficial to the cooling system," he told us. "Higher pressure in particular raises the boiling point of the fluid, thus decreasing the likelihood of vapor forming in the coolant. This results in better cooling, rounder cylinders, cooler valves, etc. Higher flow rates (up to a point) will increase the heat rejection from the radiator." [URL="https://shop.championcooling.com/articles/high-flow-water-pump"]Will A High Flow Water Pump Keep Me From Overheating?[/URL] I’ve noticed that in conjection with an aluminum rad, high flow water pump, electric fans, and removing the thermostat my car stays cooler and cools faster. If I had a mechanical fan my motor most likely would never reach operating temperature so the electric fans really act like my thermostat now. [/QUOTE]
