steve - i do not think you will see the dub doing anything drastically different than any other of the metal tubed cai available.
Just a thought....Did you reprogram your cooling fans temp settings when you installed the 180 stat? At slow or no speed you need the fans to move air no matter where the stat opens. If the stock fan settings are there, it will run like the factory stat at slow speed/air flow conditons.
ouch........ albeit correct....... but considering the circumstance, it is sponsor by default.....maybe......a little......hey, i'm trying here.......lol
actually, dub didnt build it, its some japanese company, it says so right on the filter...you know..the part that freaking MELTED. ant, dem dub shits is hotta then butta's kid!
