LS1's are all aluiminum and the snyth oil needs to reach a higher temp to boil off moisture inside the block. I think the stock fan settings are 210.
160 stat in a LS1 would mean lower block temps. I run one and my engine never goes over 185 ffan settings are 175 2.)195
I change the oil alot and sort of old school lower block temps better running.
