was wondering what my oil temp should be running at. Thanks andy:rock:

200* is good, but 180*-210* is a range

T-stat

whats up with the 170 t-stat i see alot of guys have them.

Heat soak is a real problem with Viper engines. The more temperature sensed by the IAT sensor the more timing the cpm pulls, and performance suffers until the sensor allows the pcm to add back the pulled timing. This is a safety program that inhibits detonation. But as in many instances the planning parameters are way conservative. As heat builds in the engine your performance will decline. So everything you do to reduce heat helps keep the performance at its best.

The 170 thermostat helps some...putting a 5.6 ohm resistor in the IAT circuit also fools the pcm into leaving timing alone a little longer, but cool air is the real ticket! For all of these reasons most forced induction engines use a cooling mechanism.

whats up andy? you need to put the wing back on that thing.

i hope you still enjoy the truck. i did for the 2 years i had it. pushing the red button puts a smile on ones face.

i put one in and got the check engine light. what would cause that

 

[Prof]

What code did you throw, Eddie?

You probably just needed to reboot the cpm by disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery for a few minutes...

THE WING
