Also, do I need to let Ted know I am also installing a new TB and a 160 thermostat when he is doijg my custom tune. I found a guy selling them both off of his car. He has only put 600 miles on the two and wants 160 shipped for them. Do you think it would be a good idea to add these while I do the headers and everything else.
Thanks again

Yes....I would tell Ted about any drivetrain modifications made.
$160 is borderline on an OK deal. Depends on which ported TB. Personally I prefer the VMax TB over any hand ported TB. The VMax are CNC ported instead of hand ported. That makes them the most consistent IMO. You can get one of those for $150 + shipping (I'm thinking $15? can't remember though). Hand ported TBs are more in the $120 range. I guess if you can still keep your factory TB it would be a much better deal because the $150 for the VMax is with exchange. What info do you have about the TB?
A 160 stat is only like $35...which you could buy from Ted at the same time and probably save on some shipping. So, new you could probably do the same for about $200. To me, $40 isn't enough of a savings to not have a place to return the products if something goes wrong and/or get customer support.
Both of these can be added after the headers and tune though. Now, with the 160 stat you'll need to have the car re-tuned to make the fans come on sooner. You'll need to buy and add the 160 prior to Ted's tune or buy the stat from him so he'll re-tune for free.
