Need Little Help w/ 160 stat
So last night i installed SLP's cold air flow pac and a 160 stat in my 2001 SS. And i took her out and the water temp wouldnt go any lower then right below the 210 mark. even at a 50 mph criuse she was still hot... Anyone kno why? Because i had a 96 ss and put a 160 in that and ran cool as could be. Thanks

if you want to know what it really is.. get an autometer water temp gauge and check it that way

Both of these guys are correct. If you get the fans re-programmed, it will run cooler, yet stil say 210. Autotap or an aftermarket temp guage will verify.
