Did some digging on this subject and could only find posts from years ago, when it seemed these were fairly new.
I'm looking to replace my T stat and radiator for improved cooling on my 06 GT.
I read that picking a 160/170 degree t stat should be based on your build(Paxton supercharged, 5 speed) and location (as far as ambient temps). I live in upstate NY, where summer temps can be from the 70s to the upper 80s/ mid 90s. I don't drive the car in the winter, and it's not even close to a daily driver. But I do like to take it out in the fall when the night time temps would be in the 50s/60s. ( this is great boost weather!)
So basically I either want the Mishimoto 160* or the Reische 170*. I know Reische is pretty reputable and I've read Mishimoto Radiators tend to leak, so I'm Just wondering if anyone has an updated opinion on the better T stat for my application
