Err... right... thats in race engines Tom, running something like 110 octane gas and a bunch of other things.

Go with the 180 degree T-stat. They work great on the Magnums, reduced pinging and better power. The only reason they -have- the 195 is for emmissions. It's been proven by dyno after dyno test that the 180 works best.
