True, typically a car will run rich. I used this on a Mustang to fool
the computer into supplying extra fuel to keep up with other mods I had
done and not run lean at the track. Some say this can lead to unburned
fuel during normal operations. This can hurt emmisions hardware, and
can possibly leak past rings and thin the oil. I never had a problem in
150k miles in the 'Stang. I don't see the benefit of removing the
thermostat on a close to stock engine though.
