I did see the pulley issue, but I sure couldn't see any reason the thermostat would cause a problem with it.

Either way, I'd go to a 160º stat, but move the timing up some to get the gain out of it.

Put one in there ! You live in a warmer state so you won't have worry about your heater . If you have an auto trans it will love it also . Your motor won't run at 160* anyway.

I did the 160 stat several weeks before i did my pulley and did not notice the a/c working any differant with the stat.
Now with the pulley yeah you lose some idle a/c for sure but mine does still work it's not like an a/c delete or anything..

I love mine when I ordered my tune from Nelson I requested it be programmed for a 160 t-stat. Since I have had no problems.
