No more risk of the plastic housing cracking either.
The option to use a more universal LS2/LS3 style thermostat assembly itself is a pretty nice feature as well. I wound up going with a factory GM 186* instead of their 160* which is still a step down in temp from the 194* that our cars come with provided by DMS themselves. Made the changes in HPTuners to make the most out of the new lower temps. Peace of mind and a worthwhile mod overall for a minimal amount of money.

nice piece. I might have to get one shortly since my belt will be getting a little tighter due to my new spacers. BTW, what was the Torque specs on the bolts?
