Howell carries a 160 degree thermostat, it's a motorad one. Armond uses it on his. I have one on my NA I put in after the cams. Works well for me, and Armond doesn't have any problems that I know of. I think there are a few others floating around too.

The stock temp thermostat is 190 or 195 i believe. From what I have been told by Gary Howell, the engine will run normally when the water temp passes 150 degrees, hence the 160 deg thermostat.

if you get a 160 thermostat will the heat still get hot or can you get a 180, livin in jersey we have to think bout those things.couldn't find the thermostat on howells site(lil help)
thanx

It is still fairly warm, but not like when you have a 190 deg thermostat. I live in Michigan and I deal with it alright, so I imagine it will be ok for you :)

Howell actually doesn't have it under the EClipse/Talon section. It's under the Neon section. But it works, just remove the rubber gasket on the thermostat and buy a gasket for ours and you are ready to go.
