Default when my fans turn on

im not sure when my fans do kick on but ive been watching them and its maybe about 225 or 235 and kick down to 210 and not sure that too...
for me i think thats to hot...
i was wondering does anyone have the fan switch or new sensor for earlier fan kick on???is it a good buy?

You haven't been reading all the fan threads huh?

That's the normal temp for LT1. 226f and 235f.

Well I installed a "HOMEMADE" manual fan switch on one of my former cars...
I just got my new car recently and my fans kick on AT 192f(I know this bc I have an "Interceptor Scanner) and my coolant temp is 192F and kick of around 185F
BUT, my fans hardly ever kick on... It averages around 183F with a 160 thermostat

Now the right way to do this would be to get the pcm reprgrammed but don't let that stop you from overcomplicating things with extra parts and wiring.

Oh Cap, c'mon behave lol Not everyone has the ability to program their own system, and it's not worth the coin to get one programmed JUST for the fans. If they charged $15 to do fans, then yea, it's worth it, but I have a feeling it's still the standard tune fee :\

But at the same time, a tune vs stock tune, is still a very nice gain even w/o mods. So if yuo DO have the money, get everything done all at once.
