Low temperature thermostat

Has anyone used a low temperature thermostat with out using a stage two chip? If so how did it effect the truck's performance?

Using a low temp thermostat in any circumstance for a street vehicle is of dubious benefit under any circumstance.

Using one without a matching program is not recommended.

using a low temp t stat is not a wise idea. it will just cause increased cylinder wall wear.
