Bear with me here its been a while lets see if I remember this right...fan will come on at 185f with ac on... 226f with ac off and fans turn off at 219f... then if the car cant handle the heat fast enough at 232f-235f the high speed fans come on. Sorry about my first post I got the 219f wrong. 219f is when they shut off not turn on and I think the stock t stat is fully open before 195f Someone chime in to see if I remember right.
so if i told Frost to lower the fan turn-on speeds by 10 degrees each (high/low), that would enough to help a little but not to hurt performance...?

The performance gain is very little with a cooler running engine (190f and below) compaired to your engine life IMO. You need to stay 190f above and oil temp 200f and above.

I will be doing that yes but not exactly sure on the #s I will be lowering to yet. My goal will be to keep the water temp in the 190f-210f range but at the same time i dont wanna burn up the fan motors.
