running cold
just got the second attarco head all buttoned up..got it back thursday night at about 10pm..it runs crazy good...only problem is...it seems to be running cold..or well..not as hot as it used to even when we first got the truck it ran hotter than this..it usually runs about 1/3 the way up the temp gauge..not it BARELY reads above the bottom (white) line on the gauge...just wondering if its bad that its running kinda cool...im guessing if its running cool then the T-stat is stuck open right?..thanks for the input..
the average temp here lately has been in the mid 20's..high teens at night...during mid day it might get..35*..maybe..dont think that matters..but o well

stock should be 190-195, I believe. I've got a 180 in Sin91's truck and the gauge raises to just about 1/4 the way above the first line then drops down to about 1/8 after a few minutes and stay there until on the freeway where it pops back up to about 1/4.
