Intercooler thermostat ?
Since it's so hot here in TX. I was thinking about going with a double thick lower intercooler radiator for a cooler charge.
Then I remembered when my intercooler was low that the intercooler reserve coolant was being cycled as if there's a thermostat somewhere in there.
Has anyone changed it to a different temperature, this assumes that there in fact even is one? If so, what temperature did you change it to?

No thermostat. Computer controlls when the pump cycles. I think I read about people manually overridding the pump (toggle switches etc) Also I "think" the computer chip wizards can adjust it through the chips
There is a TON of stuff you can do to cool it down. If you sit down and go through the 403 pages of so of this site, you will get some great ideas. Also check the FAQ section, read and memorize it while your at it. SVTPerformance.com also has good info on this subject.
I am not being sarcastic, I just feel it would be best to educate yourself on the subject. Then you can make an informed decision on what you want to do, how much time your gonna spend on it, and how much money.
I am in Oregon, so I poured a bottle of watter wetter in and called it good. You, being in Texas might want to look at everything from watter wetter to fans on the lower radiator to the latest "power cooler" by Johnny lightning.
