Default Car runs cooler after s/c install???

Before the install of my Pro Charger, my car would typically run about 190-210 depending on weather, driving habits etc. Since the install of the s/c it runs 170-180 consistently......why is that? Any ideas? And no, my thermostat was not changed. :confused:

Were the fans programmed to turn on sooner in the PCM program?

:cheers:
