Which Hypertech should I go with?
Which one should I use? The 160 deg or the 180 deg? I have the programer and I want to install a new therm also.

Re: Which Hypertech should I go with? (SLICKMAN)
There's only one actual Hypertech (per model year car) unit but you must mean which thermostat setting or even which thermostat I assume?
You set the unit by which t-stat that you have in the car so if it's stock there should be a setting (no changes to that parameter maybe?) for it.
I would suggest going with the 160* t-stat (and obviously the subsequent Hypertech setting for it) depending on your climate and how often you drive in the real cold weather.

It ALL depends on where you live and drive yoyr car!! If you live in Florida get a 160 deg stat! If you live in Ct and drive your car year around I would get a 180 deg stat!
You need to get your oil temp high enough to boil off any moisture that you accumulate in your in your oil.
