Subject: JET 2 W/STOCK T-STAT?
IP: Logged

Message:
I HAVE THE 4.7 LITER, AND I WANTED TO INSTALL THE JET STAGE 2. I WROTE JETCHIP AND ASKED THEM IF IT IS OK TO RUN THE CHIP WITH THE STOCK T-STAT AND THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD BE OK AS LONG AS I USED PREMIUM FUEL. I WANTED TO GET ANYBODY'S INPUT ON THIS IDEA OR IF THEY EVER TRIED IT, WHAT HAPPENED? I HAVE THE AIR-INTAKE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM MODIFIED (FLOWMASTER 40 SERIES, Z-TUBE)
ANYKIND OF INPUT IS WELCOME.

THANKS

I have my 180 stat but have not yet had a chance to install it and have been running my chip since the day I got it. No problems at all. I know a few other guys who have rub their chip without the stat as well with no problems, but once they put in the stat they said they noticed a lot of improvement. I think to get the most out of the chip you need the stat to keep the engine a tad bit cooler. With your exhaust and z tube you should get some good improvement with the chip, and should be even better with the stat.

THANKS FOR THE INFO!

BASICALLY THE ONLY REASON THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO PUT A STAT IN IS BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BUY THE GASKET FROM (I ASKED THE GUY AT AUTOZONE FOR A GASKET FOR A 4.7 LITER AND HE JUST GAVE ME A BLANK STARE). WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR GASKET?

I ordered my t-stat from speedtweaks and it came with a gasket, but everyone I have talked to said they didnt need the gasket, that the stock one is rubber and it pretty much stays on and you reuse it.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

IF YOU GET YOUR T-STAT ON BEFORE I DO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW THE INSTALLATION WENT. I HAVE A SPRAINED WRIST, SO I WON'T BE TURNING ANY WRENCHES SOON :(
