160 T-stat in winter

Will my heat still work running that low of a T-stat? Or should i put the stock 195 one back in.

I never could get much heat when using a 160.

You will get lukewarm heat at best. A 180 should be decent, however I would agree with Brody and put in a 195. The engine will run the best with a 195 also.

I've tried 160 in winters before worthless for heater... I could breathe on windshield and defrost it faster..... I would go back to the 195 like they said. 160's are just too cold anyways if your running the computer too it won't go into closed loop mode, cause in winter your motor should run a lot cooler since you have a lot of cool dense air going into the radiator.
