High temperature
Hi guys
I have a 04 c5 vette. I replaced the heads with z06 heads torquerer cam with valve and springs. It has a 3000 stall speed converter and a 3.42 rear diff. It was programmed. Before that I had a problem with high temperature around 230 to 250. I had the radiator cleaned and the fans turn on at 160 but still I get these readings. I replaced the thermostat for a SLP 160. Its there is a problem or something else I need to check. The dic coolant temp. Matches the readings on the gauge in the cluster. Please someone help.

Also, IF you have a 160* Tstat.. Your fans should be programmed to come
on after that.. EX: 175 low speed, 185 hi speed..
A 160 Stat will NOT mean your temp will run that low. It will more than
likely run around 175* with a perfectly functioning cooling system..
