We are running one of LN Engineering's 160 stats in a customer's car (01 2.7 base but equipped with the "S" oil cooler) and have consistently noted 15-18 degree lower coolant temps when compared to the OEM 185 stat. We have observed lower operating temps both around town and on the open road. One thing you have to note is that the factory temp gage is neither linear nor accurate, so you have to observe the real temps via the OBD II port. And the difference is substantial; we noted that when the cooling fans came on, the dash gage said about 190, the OBD II port said over 210, and when running on the open road, the dash gage said just under 180 while the OBD II said more like 15 degrees lower........ The stat does appear to make a make a real difference in general operating temps, but unfortunately with the inaccuracy of the dash gage is is a little hard to observe.
