I've got a Mr. Gasket 180 if you need it. it ran right at 180 degrees in my lq9.
BTW most 160 degree thermostats will run about 175.

I forget if it was here or on ls1tech. But ive read that the 160 t-stat is actually worse somehow for our engines. Going with the 180 will be better. But I could be wrong ill try to find the thread
