Since I have a 160 thermostat I am wondering now if there is a flow issue as well.

I suspect you have the same deal as a bunch of guys, there are a few different issues contributing to your higher than desired temps. Notice I said higher than desired and not over heating. Some guys find a few degrees here and there by going through everything that can cause higher temps. They find dragging brakes, timing and fuel mixture issues, a few thousandths off on water pump plate clearance, radiator is dirty, plugged or wrong model for the application, bad fan clutch, wrong clutch or fan, fan incorrect distance from radiator, no shroud, wrong or incorrect fitting of shroud, or wrong amount of fan in and out of shroud................... I'm tired of typing!
