I read some threads where guys are plugging the bypass and drilling holes in the thermostat to get some water flowing and relieve pressure. That by having the bypass, 20% of the coolant is flowing by the stat. lowering temps.
I have a bypass hose hooked up and plan on leaving that way but I suppose you could play with percentages and temps. by using a restrictor of some sort in the bypass hose instead of drilling holes and plugging hoses.
