hey guys i was thinking of buying an SLP 160 degree thermostat.does this mod really improve you performance a little?and if so how hard is it to install it.

thanks

Do not buy the SLP/Hypertech 160* thermostat. It's stamped with "MotoRad",
which means it's REALLY a MotoRad thermostat, but you're going to pay
anywhere from $5-$10.00 MORE for it, just because it's in a "SLP/Hypertech"
box. I'm serious - I just went through this.

I bought the supposed "Hypertech" thermostat, took it out of the box, saw
the MotoRad stamping, took it back and got the MotoRad Fail-Safe thermostat
(160*) for $5 less. The Fail-Safe is a better thermostat than the "standard"
MotoRad version. For my car, the standar MotoRad thermo part
number is 307-160 and the Fail-Safe is 7307-160. If you do have a 93z,
those are the same part numbers. Here's their online catalog:

I emailed Hypertech, asking if they re-package the MotoRad thermostat in
their box, but I got no reply, which means they dont want to admit to it publicly.
