I have looked at alot of threads. None of them are given me a direct answer though. See, I live in Chicago, hot summers, and icey winters. I know the stock thermo is terrible. Just what would be better for my area, a 180* or a 160*? Thanks

i would go with the 180. if you go with the 160 you will never have your heater when you want it in the winter. or if you don't mind the work put in the 160 for summer and the 195 for winter<b>Black 1996 Firebird</b><br /><b>Newest Edition: Harlan Window Switch</b><br />Nitrous Express Kit,ASCD big block hood, SLP Loudmouth, CATCO hi-flow cat, CAI, -Maf, LSD, Flameball Shifter<br /><b>Best N/A 1/4 in</b> 15.216 @ 89.82 <b>Best N2O 1/4 in</b> 14.352 @ 97.46 <--w/clutch slippage<br /><a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/motorhead69/\" target=\"_blank\">My homepage</a><br /><b>AIM:</b>MotorHead75068 <b>YIM:</b>MotorHead69

Cold winters? Go with the 180. I had the 160 in my car in SC (that has mild winters) and I got cold. I have the 180 and it is fine, works well with my Jet chip. So I recommend the 180, unless you like to be cold.Joel<br />God is my copilot, but Satan has his foot on the gas!<br />94 3.4L AutoCamaroRagtop w/MSD ignition,Accelcoilpacks,K&N FIPK,BMR SFC&STB,3\"Catco w/3\"catbackSS muffler,JetStage 2,HomemadePIAAheadlightconversion <a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/cardiac1968\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/cardiac1968</a>
