Description:
Mastodon 160-degree thermostat for Chevy LS engines. The 160°F (71°C) opening temperature is the cooler-running option — popular on boosted, nitrous, or high-compression LS builds where lower coolant temperature reduces detonation risk and lets the tuner add more timing safely.
Designed for the LS housing — fits LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, and the 4.8/5.3/6.0/6.2 truck variants. Note: a cooler thermostat sets the minimum coolant temperature; combine with appropriate fan settings for best results.

- Application: Chevy LS — LS1 / LS2 / LS3 / LS6 / LS7, 4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L / 6.2L
