Question Which Brand 160* T-Stat

I will be changing my T-stat to a 160* unit. I was wondering which is a quality T-stat or what everyone is using?
I would use a GM 160* T-stat if they offered one.

Thanks,
Jim

i just installed a hypertech on my truck and i am very happy with it. but they say you can save money by pulling your factory one apart and putting a bb inside of it to make it open at 160* you might PM bigkid and he can give you all the details he had just given them to me after i ordered the hypertech from summit
