    He said 195 thermostat. I thought that the factory thermostat was for 210 degrees. Apologies if I'm mistaken.

    Why do you need that much cooling capacity?

    Water boils at a lower temp at higher altitudes.

    The reroute is effective for keeping the engine cooler across the pistons, particularly #4 which tends to run hotter in the OEM cooling configuration.

    I'm talking about gents with Turbo Miatas, that are tracked. I guess I forgot to add that tidbit on my original post.
