When you say "our", do you mean O'Reilly's or GM? From what I've researched, the GM factory stats are 195*, yet some aftermarket replacements are somewhere in the 185*-190* range (187* fits right in there....) Not sure why that is though?

195 is about what I've heard too.

When I added the 160 stat I think my tuner tuned the fans to come on sooner.... I see a constant 180 even in stop and go traffic.
