Thanks for the replys!

Two words...

Robert Shaw. Although I have never had a problem with my stock ford one...I have heard only good things about the RS.

Sideffects?

What are the sideffects of running a 180 degree t-stat without chipping the computer? I've been contemplating getting a 180 as a cheap attempt to get my car to run a bit cooler when it spends hours doing nothing but idling (read: 2hr commute in rush hour :) ), and hadn't realised a chip was considered a "Good Idea[tm]" when going to a cooler t-stat...(For that matter, I'm not sure a cooler t-stat would keep my car temp down, either...but hey.. :) )

slight increase in engine wear of about 8% (100,000 * 8% = 108,000) and better gas mileage. Some have senn 30mpg on the highway.
