what stat to use?

I got the Hypertech Cool Fan Switch [cuts on at 176, off at 166 degrees F]


Call me retarded but what temp stat is good to run with that? 160 or 170?

160, you want the off temp to still be above the stat opening temp

what if I went with 170 would that keep my fans on all the time? I got stuck with this fan switch so I have to use it for now....I should have gone with the other...
