Default what's a 160 thermo gonna do to my PCM??

Isn't the 160 range still considered warm up mode?

in other words if I put in a 160 thermo in my car which is only lightly mod. will my computer be running the motor rich trying to get it to the temp it wants?
Won't the extra fuel kill my cats?..... not that I'm going to have then much longer(but that's another story)


Thanks...... <img src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" border="0" alt="[devil]" />

Wow dude. This topic's been discussed, debated, analyzed, hypothesized, and done all over again on all the boards for a looooooong time now <img src="gr_emb.gif" border="0">

Do a search and you'll get some great info <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Might wanna reprogram the PCM to switch the fans on earlier in order to match the lower thermo <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
