I use a 77deg thermo in mine.. most other people use 82degThe PCM does an emissions test once the car reaches a certain temperature, if you run too cold of a termo (unless you tune has been modified) the factory configuration will never reach it emissions self test and they do run slightly richer.Factory thermo is around 190F, a 180-185F thermo will be more then sufficient.
