Thermostates
I just installed a 160* hypertech thermostate and loaded the 160* cooling fan program with the hypertech programmer. I only saw maybe a 5* drop on the temp gauge it was just past 210* now its just before, but it does take a little longer to get to the temp than before. Shouldnt i see at least a 15-20* drop from stock (like the gen1 engines do). I even loaded the 180* program but it didnt make a differance. Any help would be appreciated. Thx in advance.

No, it hangs just under the center line, but that was a lot better than before. When does you fan come on. Mine's ON=185 OFF=175; I can definitely hear the improvement in the exhaust note...

You can hear over that exhuast, no i wasnt aware that there was a diff or i would have listened for it. Acording to hypertech:
Fan 1 on/off at: 184°F/175°F
Fan 2 on/off at: 194°F/185°F
Acording to this do both fans ever run at the same time?
I have a '88 iroc that showed 20* cooler on the gauge from stock with this mod, why doesnt he LS1 guages show the same way?
