Def. shouldn't throw a code. And, it's not going to do much at all for your car until you program your fans to turn on at 160 as well. I used a hypertech to do that when I got my 160 stat and it runs ~185 all the time now. Before it used to run 195-200 consistently.

Other then that you don't cook your engine/oil it will survive more abuse.

It shouldn't give you an SES light.
You should take the stock one off and inspect it though.
Mine stock t-stat had only 41k miles, I took it off to inspect it during my last cam swap and found the rubber gasket on it all cracked up and caught inside the thermostat spring. Luckily I had a new 160 t-stat that I didn't install when I did my first cam swap.
