160* thermostat

Since it has started getting hotter there have been alot of posts about engine temps. increasing and cars running hot lately.

I have always ran 160* thermostats in my stangs which always ran cool even in Florida and have had no problems with them. (Fox Bodies)

I know there has been the 160* or 180* debate on which you should/could run. Some say the 160* cause problems and some say they don't. I am new to the SN95, and want to go with the 160* thermostat but I am not sure how this computer will react to it. I fear the majority of the responces will be in favor of the 180 but the question I want to know the answer to is this:

Why should I not use a 160* and why would the 180* thermostat be the better choice. Or if I am supprised and hear some say go with the 160* stat, explain why there as well.

Thanks, Adrenalin

Thanks for the reply's fellas. I think I will at least try the 160* and see how it runs firsthand. I can always swap to a 180 later if I don't like it. I just didn't want to throw in a 160* then have to redo it again because of a computer problem or something.

Thanks again, Adrenalin
