Which thermostat to use?

Hey guys gotta ? to throw at yah... Right now my 92' camaro is running a little rich and i heard that it might be because my car is running really cold because of the 160 thermostat that I have in there. Because it never gets out of warm-up mode it is using alot of fuel...If i bumped it up to a 170 degree could it make that much difference...Car runs strong when cold but uses alot of go go juice...

I wouldn't go below 180* without some reprogramming... Otherwise you might not hit closed loop...

Another vote for a 180*. Works great and they're easy to find!
