(You didn't say in what way your "image is not good", so we have to guess... please clarify if we are guessing wrong)
Careful with those keywords to BYTSCL(): MIN= and MAX= refer to the *original* data values, which will come out in the result as 0 and 255, respectively (all original values at or below 0 would come out black, values above 160 would come out white). I wonder if you actually want the result that you'd get with simply using BYTSCL(A) and BYTSCL(B), where the extreme values are the only ones that are black or white, everything else in shades of grey.
If you were meaning that 0-160 is the range you want for the output values, then TOP=160 is the keyword to add.
