Primary Fan Setting When Burning PROM Chip

What have people had their primary fan set to when altering the PROM chip? I am about to have a PROM chip burnt. I have a 160F high flow thermostat. I live in place where summer temperature is typically in the high 20C to mid 30C. I am thinking of installing a Hypertech secondary fan switch, which turns the secondary fan on at 176F and turns it off at 166F. Therefore, I was thinking the primary fan should be set to coincide roughly with the secondary fan setting or maybe a bit cooler so that it comes on just before or at the same time as the secondary fan.

With a 160 thermostat, I set the primary fan to come on around 85* C, and off at 83* C. That's around 180-185* F.
