I use the 160 with the Dewitts radiator & also run 100% EVANS waterless stuff. On a 100 deg plus day in red light to red light traffic the max my car will get up too is about 210 with the air on full. Robert

I also have a DeWitts super cool kit on my 16 Z06 with stock tstat. Stays a little under 210 and below even in 100 heat with a/c on. The a/c doesn't get real cold until the car gets moving.

Did you know you would run a little cooler with some water content? That's right, if you read their literature they say you might run 10-20 degrees hotter.

I have one I purchased before I converted to E85. So I removed it and put the stock T stat housing and 194 Stat back in. If I were on just 93 it would have been more beneficial and especially on a SC Vet where mine is NA. Mine came with Aluminum Housing, 160 T stat.
I'm not using mine if you figure out your interested. I believe its an AMP for a Z06. Btr also sells them but they are much more expensive for the same parts. Mine might have 500 miles on it.
