160 Thermostat

160 Thermostat
When I bought my car, the temperature always stayed at about the L on normal in the gauge. For about the past month or so, It has been running much hotter, at about the R. My mods are in my sig, with headers and an e cam in the near future, do you think I would benefit from getting a 160 degree thermostat?

its opens up at 160* and trys to cool off the motor sooner. now with that going on the EECIV has a 172* [or 178*] warm up loop where the car stays richer to it hits that operating temp. if your car was only a summer car and was built up a good bit then i woudl do a 160. but for a DD i would go with 180

160 could be to much for your application. All a thermostat does is allow coolant to flow faster/slower. With a 160, the coolant may flow so fast that it doesnt collect the heat is it travels through the system. I have a 180 and have no problems, its about as far as I would go on the stock app though.
