Fan speed

What do you guys have your modded ZL1 fans set to turn on at ? Mine is running 24/7 at high speed soon as I start the car and it's annoying as hell. I'm FBO and gonna be cammed in. Aweek but I've never had over heating issues just wanna know what's a good temp to have the fan activate at.

You should set the fan to the same temp as your thermostat. Otherwise one is defeating the setpoint of the other and wasting energy.

Something got goofed up by the tuner. The fan settings on this car are more complicated compared to some of the older cars. Took a little trial and error on my part to get it figured out.

I have mine set to target 180 degrees, but I also have a lower temp thermostat. That’s going to affect where you want the desired temp to be.

What do you mean same temp as thermstat ? Is there a target setting the thermostat triggers the fan?

You do know that Manifold Air Temp is calculated using coolant temp as a variable, right? That alone makes it worthwhile to me — at least for street pulls, drag racing, etc.
