I want it under 200* at all times. Would these things put me there?

180* T-Stat http://store.summitracing.com/partde...8&autoview=sku

200* on, 185* off Fan Switch http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

My engine runs 220* all day long now, so nothing is mechanically wrong to make it run hot.

I also need help with crossing some wires so both my fans come on at the same time.

Re: Would these components keep me cool?

that would be a good setup, though it will probably go about 200 a little bit now and again depending on hot warm it is outside.

If you haven't already, i would upgrade you radiator and leave the fans alone.

Thanks 86. A little over 200* wouldn't be bad once in a while i guess, 220+ is just too hot for me. My radiator should be good (keyword should) i just want both my fans to turn on at the same time. I took the A/C off so the second fan doesn't come on at all. I've got time, my car will be in paint for a good 3-4 weeks yet.
