Alot of guys debate rather to run a colder one or not. Ive always ran them in my cars with no problems and my tuner recommended it so i put one in. Theres a few debate threads about them on the forum

Yes, what he said. My tuner recommended the 16o so I went with it. The difference is running 190 on the freeway to 178 if I remember correctly. It will help keep your car cooler in traffic. Ask your tuner and especially your engine builder for advise on this one.
