Why would you want to run cold? Car makes more power when it is warm and running at the proper operating temp...

Thumbs up

Modify your existing one and be done with it.
How you ask?????
Drill two more holes (same size), next to the existing one with the little thingy thing and that is it.
What does it do???
Your asking too many questions now.
It helps open the thermostat a little sooner by increasing the flow.
