ls motors are more effiecent at temps between 180-200 degrees. closed loop fueling also kicks in around 155 i believe. there have been cases were a 160 stat in cooler weather won't let the motor reach a temp for closed loop to kick in. also all my best slips have been with a 200* motor and cool air. to each his own i guess

I have the engine in my 91 fox. The first fan kicks on at 190 i believe but the second fan is not kicking on but the highest ive let the engine get is to 220. The engine has a 228r cam but i have no plans on changing the thermostat as ive read many times it dioesnt benefit the engine at all.
Thanks for the help guys guess Ill start checking the wiring for issues.

FWIW, my SLP 160 t-stat ran 184-188 on I-70 in 30 degree weather. Plenty warm.
My fan settings are:
Fan 1 on: 190
Fan 2 on: 199
Ignition off:
Disable Temp: 185
Run Time: 300 sec.
I have the fan run for 5 minutes after I shut the car off. Something I always liked when I had my 87 GN and 89 TTA.

Definitely a lot harder trying to keep that temp back then when the fans kick on a lot higher than 185. Basically a game trying to keep that temp in the lanes and staging. But I got fairly well at it
