My '02 WS6 turn on by the thermostat @ 212*. I lowered them to 192*. Also have SLP manual over-ride switch. very nice. Turn on, Hi or LO manually.

Good luck with the new cam.

Someone just e-mailed the current settings for a 97 Vette. The low speed fan comes on at 226 and goes off at 217, and the high speed fan goes on at 235 and shuts off at 219.

Other years may be different.

on temp has to be higher then off temp....because when the fan comes on the temp will drop..not rise I'm guessing you meant 185 on 175 off
