Performance is maintained if the coolant temperature (and inlet air temperature) stays low enough such that the ECU doesn't pull timing. A lower thermostat helps and may be enough if you don't sit idling for long periods. If you do, such as in the staging lanes at the drags, reprogramming the fan temps will help.
All the C-6 160 aftermarket stats I've seen are manufactured by AutoRad, and sold be several vendors. Quality control is lousy. I had a so-called 160 that ran at 189. My current 160 runs at 181 at cruise. Same brand.
