Default Fan Controller for cooler engine temps?

Well, 290 miles now, only 210 to go! I did a search on fan controllers, but couldn't get anything.
I've noticed that on warmer days, in stop and go traffic, the water temp will climb into the 220's,
then the secondary fan kicks in and knocks the temp back down. So, my question is, is there a
fan controller that is easy to install, that can make the secondary fan come on at a lower temp?
I don't think I want to do a thermostat just yet. Where could I get more info on fan
controllers for Z06's? The summer out here is very hot, and I would like to have a few
degrees advantage wherever I can get it ;)

Well, I just read a post on that Vinci fan controller. Sorry if this post is old subject matter :confused:
Is a t-stat and fan controller the way to go? What are some high quality brands? Like others,
I just hate seeing a car run so hot, even if it is designed to do so for emissions. A little cooler
has to be beneficial, and the computer can easily make adequate adjustments...
