    did you all go to the 160 thermostat? I am having Allen get me a tune and that is the route I want to head but the entire housing on my 2001 must be replaced? Where is the best place to get this?

    The thermostat and housing come as one piece. I got the 160 to go with my Nelson tune. It allows for a bit more timing advance and keeps the engine a bit cooler. Mine runs at 188 with the 160 in.

    I would also like to know where the best place to get a 160º thermostat is. i am interested in getting one, and I have seen them for around $50, but I would like someone who has purchased one and installed it to tell me what the best deal around is. Thank you.
