Do I need a thermostat????
Hey guys!!! Wazzup? I was wondering if a thermostat is required and what the benefits might be with the mods listed in my signature. Also, which one do you recommend...160...170?Thanks for any feedback...see you at Cecil.

Yes, your L needs a thermostat. I changed mine to a 160 degree Hypertech many miles ago.
