I have a stock '96 CE LT-4 with 71k on it. Will a Power Programer III and a 160 stat give what they say?

I was wondering the same thing for my 90. I was just looking at them today as a matter of fact. If they do they would be worth the cost. But if it is half what they say it wouldn't be worth the money. Hope someone comes along and answers this. In the mean time I am going to do a search on it.

from this thread it's best to have a pro do it

YEA, today I removed the 160 stat and put the stock 180 back in . The only thing it did (that I could tell ) is put the gas mil in the toilet esp in the winter. I had the stat in for 8 years. Dont mind the drop in gas mil as log as it pays in HP!

Yes, and No.

It will turn the cooling fans on sooner
It will correct for "non-stock" tire sizes
It will allow you to change rear end gears, and keep speedo correct.
It will help an A4 automatic shift better

I have one because I changed rear gear ratio, and it works well for that correction. I DO NOT think it gains anything power wise. If it does, it is not much.

Used ones can be bought, and ones you have used can be sold. So, if you find one in your price range, I'd say go for it!

Just don't expect any "seat of the pants" improvement.
