I tried them all, Mr Gasket, Moroso, Stant, holes, no holes. The Stant super stat from NAPA was all over the place. It would open at 210 then drop to 170 clime back up to 190 then back to 170. Then one day it went to 220. I shut the engine off and threw the thermostat in the trash. I have a Gates 180 thermostat now. The temp rises to 200 then drops to 180 and stays there. No holes. The high performance stats would not let the engine get above 160. Waste of money. That's my story and I'm sticking ti it!
