Default hypertech thermostat

just wondering...do you really need a new thermostat housing when you buy a new stat? i've seen that the hypertech stat alone is $20, but with the housing it's like $50. wtf? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

That is true. Headers and heads are outrageous. I guess they want to hand us a screw starting with the small stuff so we will be brain washed by the time we get to the heads we will think we are getting a great deal. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I have never seen anyone just get the stat.

Has anyone else done this?

check out:

they use the stock housing for the 160 degree thermostat; I don't see how changing it is going to make any difference? <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />
