Engine Temp LA 360

In Florida stay with the 160° thermostat. As long as it is a high flow style. Also, do you recall the part number of the water pump you have? If it is a 6 vane impeller I would get an 8 vane W/anti-cavitation plate impeller. What type of fan are you running? As long as it doesn’t keep climbing in temperature, and the temps drop when you’re rolling I wouldn’t sweat it for the time being
