Default WTB: LS1 thermostat 160 degrees

My stock thermostat took a crap on me so now my car is starting to overheat. Also, the fans turn on wayy to early, which is annoying to hear.

Anyways, where can I get a hypertech 160 degree thermostat for my LS1 Trans Am. I'm in the North Dallas area at the moment so would prefer to buy it locally.

Any shops in the area that would stock this?

I picked up a t-stat @ Autozone that was 160*, but wasn't Hypertech. It was also about half the price.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Did the autozone thermostat come witht the housing too? Also, did you have to use AutoTap or HPP to adjust your fan settings accordingly?

Thanks

I really wanted the 160 degree Hypertech, but I was in a time crunch so I just ended up going with the 180 degree Duralast from Autozone. It does look a little cheap, but I guess I can't complain for $20. The car seems to be running a lot better than before.
