160 thermostat is good stuff. Do it for sure. I know jacksonracing has one. I don't know how much they charge. I'm sure you could get one a your local autoparts store cheaper. I got my 170 tstat and 16psi radiator cap at koi.

I had to raise the cold revlimit on my car because the combo of the cap, tstat, water wetter, and distilled water worked too well. I'll probably change to 50/50 and see if it gets a little warmer.

180 t-stat in northern regions of the country is always ideal
