Who make 160stat for LT4????
I have a 160 Hypertech stat that I got with the power programmer a few years ago. The car is starting to run warmer than in the past, about 185 last week on interstat cruising at 73mph with air on in about 85-90 temperature. Anyhow it appears none of the local auto parts stores carry a 160 stat & via email Stant doesn't make one.
What thermostat are people using & where do you get it???

Check to make sure your radiator is not partially blocked by trash and debris on the front.
I had to order a Hypertech stat--couldn't find anyone else who carried one.

I had the same problem. Nobody around here had one.. I bought the Powerstat too. Definitely make sure the front of the radiator is clean...

Another Powerstat here. If you are looking for a replacement, and live in Hinkley, take a drive up to Parma. There is a corvette shop on Brookpark Rd. called NXS performance. He sells the Powerstat for $14.. Some nice vettes there too!

I blew it out with an air hose last fall, there was only a small quantity of bugs , etc. I'll look & do it again to be sure. The only other thing that has changed is I am now running 4.10 gears, which might make it run a little warmer. It always ran in the 170's before on the highway. I never saw 180 on highway until last fall after the 4.10's went in.

I got mine @ Pep Boys Auto Parts. Stant is the MFG and they are a fraction of the price of a hypertech. Stant probably makes them for Hypertech.
But that's business!

See http://www.stant.com. I emailed them & they responded they did not make a 160 stat for an LT4 corvette.

Doug Rippie also sells them for about 17 bucks.

Don't confuse LT1/LT4 style thermostats with non LT1/LT4 thermostats...seems like everyone does that...they are not interchangable, but you probably know this.
