Default Thermostat change

I need the link for thermostat change, I will be switching to a 160 degree thermostat and would like to see how simple or complicated it is to install. I believe the link is on ls1tech.com but I am not sure.

Why? No H/P gain and screws up your computer.

I have one, very easy to install. The transition from open loop to closed loop is around 176 degrees. After that, there will not be any fuss with computer problems, slow O2 sensor voltage signals, or detonation.

I installed mine after I installed a customed tuned computer. The tuner, PCM for less, recommended it because that worked best with the settings he programmed in. So far I like it, it keeps the car running cooler down here in GA.
