Doesn't sound like it... that's pretty much what the factory setup does.

If you have A/C that is the temp the right hand fan turns on.

Re: Over heating or no?

ur factory fan swicth is in the side of the head and it turns the fan on at 215-220 u can get an after market fan swicth. running 200 and above is not good for a motor. nor power. motor makes more power a round 170-190 .the reason is because when ur motor gets hot it tell the computer to be lean on the fuel.so when u go to race ur not getting all the fuel u need.this keeps the motor from over heating when the temp is high.try it take ur car out and try it around 170-190.and then try it when its hot.steve
