Welcome to the list, fellow 6er! hehehe... You should go with the 180. A
160 will run too cool and your computer will not go out of "warm up" mode
and your performance will suffer. The next gear ratio up from 3.55 is
3.92. There aren't any in betweens unfortunately. I'm also wondering
about driveability out of my 6 with the 3.92's. Welcome to the list! =)
