Welcome to one of the oldest debates on the internet, you can search and find lots of opinions on the subject. I personally run a 180*

id have to agree with Pit, here on the gulfcoast we dont get much cold weather but when we do it takes forever for my truck to warm up pass 160, yeah i run a 160 in my stock z71, matter of fact it only got up to 175 all the way to san antonio yesterday and the temps were around 70 for a 4.5 hour drive
