What motor do you have? With the LT1 and the LS1, I've always heard it is not good to change the thermostat with out reprogram. I put a 160 in my LG4 with no problems. I'd say from what I've heard on this board and from personal friends, if it's an LT1 or LS1 than I wouldn't do it unless you reprogram the computer.
