I do not beleive in low temp t-stats for LS1 motors, unless they are running boost. For NA setups, 190*F is as low as I'd want to run the motor.
After looking at and experiancing both sides of the spectrum, there is nothing that anyone can say to change my mind.

I wont argue the point, but if I let her set it will get a hair over, and when tis warming up it slowly heads for 210. I dont understand. I can agree its not the most accurate, but its not a "dummy guage" like fords oil pressure guage is it? If so, what OTHER guages in my car are worthless?

On the other hand, the '98 gage will register even small changes in temp, and though it's not perfect either, it makes the '99+ gage look totally useless.

I have a 160 degree thermo and mine runs at 190. The guage might be close to useless on an 01, but my tuner said it would run at that temperature. I chose to get the thermo because my faith does not lie in stock parts.
