so what should fan settings be for that???
I figure since I Have HPtuners I could fine tune that a little till I buy a 160 stat
BTW....anybody in KC Area.. I have it for 2000/2001 camaro's/bird's incase anybody is close to here and wants some budget basic tuning done(wideband soon)

Glad that got cleared up. Once again I had a fraction of the answer right, to the wrong question. I really need to get me a little spec sheet so I quit doing this!!!

And to clarify on a TEN year old thread. All fan temps listed above are wrong, except for the optimized for 195 bit which he isnt claiming are stock numbers.

Wow, welcome back to 2005.
The stock t-stats were stamped on the bottom as 86° (C), which equals 186.8°F.
Stock fan settings are as follows:
Low speed on/off: 227°/218°F
High speed on/off: 235°/228°F

There's rated temp and there's what it does. Look at
your ECT when coasting at high speed and that's the
effective pivot temp. I recommend your low speed
fans be on a couple of degrees below, and high speed
a couple above this what-it-does.
My experience: stock ("180") 194-195F
Hype-tech "160" 175-177F
You want the thermostat to be in charge because
it responds fastest. Running fans late increases the
water jacket temperature swing and you have to
deal with that, either fine tuning the ECT spark
adder tables or leaving something on the table for
that variability. Run your fans such that the ECT
never breaks out more than a couple of degrees
above pivot temp, radiator airflow surplus is where
it's at. Of course a fatter core would help too.

I find the stock 86°C (186.8°F) rating to generally be accurate, as I've often seen ECT temp on my scanner to be as low as 192-194°F, post warm-up, at steady cruise in cool ambient conditions. You won't ever get the ECT to exactly equal the t-stat temp, it will always be a bit warmer but should be pretty close assuming you have proper airflow and cooling system capacity.
