Gee, Keith, that doesn't make any sense. Those thermostats don't do 
anything that would limit heated air. They just meter in cool air, 
increasing the total airflow, but at a reduced temp. If you just 
remove the thermostats, you'll either get lots of cool air (if you 
have the cool air tubes installed) or you'll dump all your heated air 
outside the car (if the cool air tubes have been removed.)
