Question regarding fan settings
I just purchased a A&A Procharged (P1SC) 2003 Z06. The car was originally tuned by Phil (skunkwerks) and the tune was "touched-up" over at Synergy Motorsports. Through Dynatech Headers and catted x-pipe it is making 589/501 on a Dynapack tuned for 91 octane.
My problem is that when I was sitting in 100+ degree heat, the coolant temps really started to climb. I checked the fans when the A/C is cranked on max setting and it only looks like the drivers side fan is running, shouldn't they both be on? Now, the fuses look fine and I haven't checked the relays yet(how do I do that?). Assuming that the relays are fine and the fans are plugged in properly (how do I check this as well? Trial and error?), could it be possible that the tuner accidentally turned off the secondary fan? If so, can it be turned back on with a mechanics scan tool or do I need to remove the computer and send it to the tuner, or someone else with HPtuners, and have them alter the fan settings?
Thanks for helping this FI newbie out!

P.S. Car has a Dewitts rad and 180 degree t-stat. I have a 160 sitting here. Would it be benificial to swap thermostats and if I do will I have to get the car re-tuned?
