Couple of Questions

[Davyboy]

Its the winter months, so not much else to do other than play around with my tank XD

Well I have just a couple questions regarding a few mods that I could be doing and their effects.

The first is regarding the "fake" O2 sensors, all I've heard about them is that they stop the system from throwing off codes with a modded exhaust. I'm wondering would those be better or would simply replacing my O2 sensors be better, as I believe they are near the end of their life?

The second question is regarding thermostats, would putting a lower one like a 160 provide much benefit for a machine that isn't really modded?

The third is about corvette servo's, is there much benefit other than easier shift from 1st to 2nd gear to be achieved with these.

I've been scouring the performance section here, and I am just wondering a little more information on these, I have a few more questions which I will ask in a short while, thanks in advance for any help.

you won't see any gains in power by deleting good 02 sensors, some delete IF they can get away with it if they install longtube headers. For a stock daily driver, if your are good, keep em.

in Canada, your crazy! No, newer vehicles really need to run 195-210 degrees, plus, a colder Tstat means it doesn't heat up as high, so your heat inside will suffer.

yes, small cheap investment, if you don't have a tune, it will help, but REALLY be noticeable after tune. Saves the life of the tranny too.

with all the stuff you mentioned above, consider a custom tune chip?
