Programmer needed for cooler Thermostat?
Do you have to use a programmer of some sort to reprogram the fans when running a 160 degree thermostat? Or, can you just throw the stat on and let the car figure it out?

What year is your car? I have a Hypertech III for a 2000 C5, that's been returned to stock, because I'll be getting an LS1 Edit performed after several mods. Let me know if you're interested.

Mine are set at 210 and 195. Shuts off at 185. I normally run 180 on the highway when it's 95/100 degrees. When the sun goes down it will run about 175. But in traffic or racing I need the fans.
