I would keep the stocker, and just buy the slp fan switch. IMHO, the 160 opens too early, and the 180 is too close to stock to tell and isn't worth the money. I've tried both by the way.

I like the control of the slp fan switch, but if the programmer is keeping it cool then that is all that you should need. I like to keep my car around 180-195, where is the programmer keeping your car?

wtf did you just say? LS1's don't like dry kits? what are you smoking?

and btw....if you're not a sponsor, and are not referring him to a sponsor, don't mention that again on the open board.

i'll say that wet kits ARE safer, and are better than dry kits imho. but to say LS1's don't like dry kits is a little bit beyond that. dry kits work plenty fine too, for their intended purpose.
