What kinds of scores do you need for a T1 school? What about GPA? What is more important, a good GPA or a good LSAT score?
Also: I heard that if you take the LSAT twice, they average the scores instead of replacing. Is this true?

It really depends on your GPA, where you went undergrad, and the school where you're applying. A 164 is a good score, so if your GPA is good, and you went to a solid undergrad, you're on the right track. I'm at a school on the back end of T1, and a 164 would have put you in good position.
That said - you really should check the stats on the school website, as well as on the LSAC site. Like DoubleDTG said, each school will weigh GPA and LSAT scores differently. Generally, though, you should be strong in both areas, especially if you're looking T1.
Also - if anyone is thinking of applying to law school and has any specific questions, you can certainly send me a PM. I've answered questions before for posters and tried to give good advice.
