Guys, I need some help. This year's Run & Gun (Kit Car Race) is coming up this week and my Stage II powered Cobra is ready EXCEPT I'm having problems with my Thermostat.
First, do you need to run a BYPASS on a Stage II motor. (Normally aspirated)
Second, if you do need to bypass I understand that you drill holes in the thermostat flange. I did that with 4 1/8" holes. The thermostat never opens. I can't believe that 4 little holes can cool and entire motor but it appears to be true.
Anyone who has any ideas please let me know on this forum as I'm leaving Atlanta for St Louis on Wednesday and would like to have it figured out by then.
I've got a 180 degree in their now and also have a 195 so let me know.
Thanks,
Bob
