Default mvvs 1.60 gasser
I tried a 16x8 Graupner "Super Nylon" three blader prop on mine. http://www.hobby-lobby.com/grprop.htm
I'm using the tuned MVVS exhaust. The Graupner prop flew the plane OK but it was slightly too much prop to let the engine get to full power "on the pipe". I could only get about 7600 RPM with it. It may not be the best three blade prop design out there though.

With a two blade APC 17x8 I got 8900-9000 RPM readings.

I haven't tach'ed it yet but so far I like the 17x10 APC the best with this engine/exhaust setup but I still plan to try others.

Which prop is best will depend some on your exhaust and which vintage your 160 is. Mine is the model that was out just before the current "Red Head".
