worth retaking a 164?

Got a 164 on my first take (Feb). My GPA is a 3.6 from a big state school. I'm targeting schools in the 20-30 range but a few T14 would be nice as reaches. Is it worth retaking or should I just apply with what I have?

Admissions used to be more predictable: above both medians = strong likelihood of admission. These last 2 years have quite honestly devoured that assumption and spit it out. I would definitely not retake if your head isn't in it or just for the sake of retaking, but the most impactful app boost you can give yourself has always been to maximize your LSAT score. And the second attempt is typically where you get the largest jump. Only person who can answer that is you, but a 164 first take says to me you would crush the second.
