Default 160 degree thermo and fan congtrol !!!!

were do you set the fan control for 2002 z28 with a 160 degree
stat, and what bennies from this temp besides keeping the block cool,

and a final question what changes do you see when scanning and editing..
and what coolant do u guys use, i got the pink ****, thinking about
adding some of that new stuff that goes in the coolant to cool better....

thanks.......

Not really anything to look for....except maybe a little less KR. I'd knock about 25 degrees off the stock settings for a 160 stat. Too much lower and the fans will be running more often than not.

I just run the hypertech fan turn on points, since they make more of the t-stats anyways, I figure they can at least get that right.

depending on what tuning software you are running you will have to convert those numbers...which isn't a big deal.. lol. just had to mention it.
also, i usually run a littler lower fan temp settings...my car never goes above 195(if even at it for a few seconds) on HOT days and in traffic
