Which thermostat
I'm considering getting a new thermostat for my 3.8, but I don't know which to get the 160 or the 180. Does anyone have any input on this subject?

well it usually works the other way around. once you get a tune, the tuning company will recommend a 160 stat.
and the difference of a 160 to a 180, its just the temperature at which the stat opens. so a 160 obviously runs the engine cooler. you might be okay running a 180 without a tune, because a 160 is just too cool for stock ECU...
but really, i dont think a stat is worth anything, even with a tune.

I thought all along you had a z28.
