the proper cure for your problem is to put a colder thermostat in the car and have an sct chip burnt for your car to tell the fan to come on earlier.

we can do this for you dont hesitate to call 1 866 913 boss

Can you guys re-program the computers as well for bigger injectors and different cam/heads? Have to go to mass air for the heads/cam/ intake and injectors(24lbs).

yes we can do that

Can i get your website ?

The EEC likes to seem the motor at at least 180 degrees, Closed Loop kicks in at about 170 or so, depending on the year of the ECM. The STOCK thermostat for these cars is the 190-ish one (194 I think) so it running around the 200 degree mark is just fine.

The stock gauge is WAY off, I found that just changing senders on mine (on the stock gauge) would give me a completely different temp. Now that I've installed an Autometer temp gauge, I was able to set my electric fan to come on at about 190-195 with my 180 T-stat.

Remember, run your motor too cold and sludge and crap build up inside it, as well as Carbon accumulates......the motor is designed to run between 190-200-ish, so let it be there.

Get a real temp gauge and go from there, I doubt you are actually having any real issue whatsoever.

On a side note, Water Wetter did nothing for my actual operating temp (controlled by the fan controller of course) but it did seem to make my cooling system slightly more efficient, the fan cycles less often.

Also, UnderDrive pulleys (with an electric fan) won't hurt your operating temperature. Now, with a clutch fan...yes, because the fan will be spinning slower, but with an electric fan, underdriving the water pump gives the coolant more dwell time in the radiator and actually helps the cooling. Remember, your thermostat is a RESTRICTOR as well, if your coolant were to fly through your motor, it wouldn't cool, it needs dwell time in order to remove the heat from the block and dissipate it through the rad. That is part of the function of the thermostat, to restrict coolant flow and provide dwell time.

I've seen the water wetter,i'll give it a try have you heard that its effective?

thanks overkill,nice explanation of whats going on.lots of relevant info for me right on.thanks again to all

At highway speeds is the fan doing anything? the air is being forced through the rad anyways right?

No, its not, which is why you want it off. There is enough air flowing through via movement of the vehicle to cool it.
