    Can't get the water temp over 190 and it likes to run around 170 on flats. Haven't seen the pyro much over 700 either. That's at 70 degrees weighing 91k. So far I'm impressed but think I need to swap the thermostats. Or open up some more fuel to it

    Don't swap out both 180's just swap one for the 190.

    That's what I was thinking. Try swapping 1 out first and see how it acts

    He installed a different t-stats housing. And no I'm pretty sure the original housing holds two.

    Yes I did upgrade the t housing. The 2 original ones from both engines I have are both single t stats and I put a double housing on it with the Acert water pump
