I have a 172 in mine now. I had a 160 and it ran colder (mid to upper 160s) than I wanted it to. I tried a 180 it ran almost the same temperature as stock.

160 t-stat and custom fan switch.
having a 160 deg t-stat and no computer changes or fan switch will only alter the temp at which your thermostat opens(letting the coolant flow) so in city traffic the temp will rise just like stock, but on the highway it will drop down significantly.
with a fan switch/ computer tuning you can keep it lower 24/7.
