Default Do I really need a thermostat???
I have a a 351w approximately 400hp I purchased from The Engine Factory. My question is do I really need to run with a thermostat? I have heard that a lot of people do not use one at all, others say they take them out due to have over heating issues, ect.. ect... talk with the guys at the Engine Factory and they suggested running without one for a while then putting one in at a later time.

Can you guys educate me on this issue. At this time I am not planning on running one and see how it goes. If I do need to put one in what temp. do you suggest adding? Thanks for the help.
