i ran a 160 in my GTO for years. the car was tuned and it was fine.
the only problem i had when it was bitter cold it took a few minutes to get my heat to a tolerable temp. while it barely got warm enough once i was at operating temp. it was fine.
when i was cruising it would run cooler. sitting in traffic it would run at stock temp. at least according to my gauge which did move unlike my fbody temp gauge which also has a 160 but with a H/C and a non DD im not worried about any problems.
