i've determined with my scan software that with a 160 stat...in florida weather that's in the 80s....my car levels out at around 175* while moving.
so if you turn the fans on a bit above that, you'll still maintain good cooling, but you won't over use your fans.
i would think something like 190 on and 180 off for the primary fan
and i think anything above that would work for the 2ndary fan

I have the first fan set to turn on at 180F and the second fan comes on at 187F. With my 160 stat, I usually see operating temps of 178F through the HPT scanner while moving with the fans off. I also set my fans to run for 60 seconds after shutting the car off if the temp is above 187F.
