Performace computer? You must be trying to get rid of the pinging. The
180 won't get rid of it totally, but it will help it alot. I don't know
about a 160, I have a 180 and I'm glad I changed. I have no problems
with the computer or mileage. Don't know about emissions, don't have to
be tested here for that. I do remember a list member having problems
with a 180, the computer was giving a code for the engine being too cold
too long. Don't know if they ever got that fixed or not. So I would
say a 160 probably will not get along with our computer. With my 180
right now the temp needle sits right on the first mark. A 160 probably
would not register at all.....
