What should I set Fan Temps at?
Just put the old Predator on to recheck settings after a couple of years. I have a Y2K with minor bolt ons and a 180F thermo. Fan #1 was set at 210 on and 200 off, fan #2 was set at 220 on and 210 off. Suggestions? Thanks.

I have the stock thermostat. I have the first one come on at 196, and the second at 205. My car usually stays at 190-195 cruising around in the summer months. Hope this helps. Don

I kind of like the numbers set in yours now. Nice overlap of the two fans and it doesn't let the motor get too hot. I just ordered a Dewitt radiator for my 04 Vert which I will install after the first of the year. My car currently has no heating problems as long as you are moving. But, come to a light or a little traffic, even this time of year, and the temps very quickly come up to 225 and above. It does go back down when you get moving again. If you are hung up in traffic the fan comes on at 226 or so for about half a minute or so until the temp gets down to 219 then goes off for another half a minute or so until the temp is back above 225. I don't care to see how they would react in the summer temps out here at 105 and above. I drove in our local Veterans day parade and the temp was 235 and above the entire time. I'm old school and believe the motor should not be run hot. I'll find some one with a hand held tuning device to set my temps after I get the Dewitt installed.
