Not to mention how COOL it looks!

I agree

Actually I got relief when I up shifted esp to 6th gear at freeway speeds in 5th the temp would slowly climb

Your right as I understand it a specific temp of a thermostat allows the passage of rad water beyond a specific heat range. Its actually better to keep the water in the radiator as long as possible as thats air cooled before letting it go into the rest of the motor. So a 160 allows the water to start flowing sooner however all the cooling occurs in the radiator. Hopefully the increase in capacity and bigger fans will resolve my issue. D
