David Vissard (sp? think I have his last name at least close) believes around 170 degrees to be optimal for making power in a traditional small block Chevy. Bob Norwood on the other hand is an old friend and used to preach to me "heat is horsepower." Bob is a god among the Ferrari crowd ,so tell me what these cars like.

I want to say that we do all of our dyno testing between 183-187 degrees. I will have to confirm that but those are the numbers that come to mind.
In regards to a thermostat. You bring up a good point and one that is usually addressed by Nismo directly. Your local dealership should be able to help you with that.
