ask any 3rd gen Firebird owner. No offence meant, its just I hate to see trannys cooked.
keep in mind that a Thermostat rating is "static" so it doesnt FLOW full open till 9-10 degrees HOTTER than that rating. I would use a 170, or 160 if in the south.
A 170 flows full at 180@ roughly..
tranny fluid starts to cook at 200...
