The 160* stat is keeping the car too cold which in turn, lowers engine efficiancy, increases emissions, and increases potential sludge build up. I run a Ford 190* stat, prp boys 3 core rad, hi flow pump and I run 195-200* on my autometer gauge. This is with al heads/cam/intake and underdrive pulleys. Get a stock stat and if you want better cooling, get a better rad and flush the system and run more water than antifreeze. maybe 30/70 or 40/60 mix.
