A lot of people say on a NA car it isn't going to help, AND if your coolant doesn't heat up enough your car will run extra rich and you'll get a CEL... I only know of one person who has installed this on a NA car and hasn't had a CEL...
If the car is NA but modded, it generally will run hotter since more power's being made, so the thermostat in that situation won't overdo it's duty right?

That might be true, but nothing near FI... I don't think your car will reach operating temps, or stay there with this thermostat on a NA car... Maybe if you turn the car on, wait one minute for the juices to start flowing then beat on it immediately?

As a side note; has anyone upgraded their radiator to the CSF one? I see Z1 Motorsports is offering one.
