Random question, what is the normal coolant temperature on our LSJs? Mine never goes above 180* but its consistently at 176* someone was saying that was too cold and that the thermostat might be going bad? Am I concerned for no reason?

Yeah, at the top of 3rd, I'm usually in the 140 degree range as well.

Perfectly normal.

Edit: I thought you were talking about IAT2's. My coolant temps are the same as yours though. 176-180.

They have been that way since the day I picked her up new.

I had to replace mine. When the seal goes bad, there's up to 8 1/8" holes for Copland to go through. Mine wouldn't go over 130 while driving.

The rubber seal goes bad on them and then won't warm up.

Mine when bad in NY in winter. Never warmed up past 140°

Steve, is this controlled like a nitrous system?

The reason I ask is, I wonder if I can run a similar setup, and use my nitrous setup within the GMR S3 PCM to have the injector spray to provide more fuel.

GMS3 only triggers with WOT switch, right? Its not boost referenced?

It's basically the exact same as tuning a large meth shot on a boost switch.
