Can I supercharge it?

RE: Can I supercharge it?
you can easily run 10psi but youll need a better fuel pump in the tank and larger injectors. dont rely on those damn FMUs the sc kits come with. with the larger injectors, youll need a maf calibrated for teh injectors you choose
and get rid of that 160* stat. it wont allow your motor to get into a closed loop. if your car is over heating its not cause of your stat, its either a dying water pump or a dirty radiator....or blown head gasket but you said it runs strong

yea change the T stat to a 180. I take my 180 out in the summer months because its so hot and especially humid here, its heats up normally without it. IN the winter i need it to get my engine warmed up qucikly though.
Put the 180 back in there, if your car is overheating, go with a Fluidynn, Griffin or Be cool radiators. That will make it run super cool.
