Random thought here...
The stock t-stat had a very smal hole through it, compared to the 1" + it gets now. Maybe the system needs that little restriction to keep things "in check"?
My only reasoning is water likes to boil if given energy and it helps if you lower the pressure, think of opening the radiator cap on a hot car. Could the resistance in the stock t-stat create pressure at WOT and just keep the water from bubbling as it passes through the engine???
I'll admit to grasping straws here, but I have a hard time seeing why the coolant should care one wit about what loops it goes through.
Poo or Doo, it should not matter!
Will a stock pro foam if you pin it @ 100 degrees???
