Thermistor Change
Ok I'm going to be changing my thermistor to a different Temp./OHM curve, will this have any other effect other then the cooling fan control on my 1992 RS Camaro, like fuel mixture or timing or etc.

Yes both. If you "tell" your car how hot/cold it is then it will adjust accordingly. If you have a colder "told temp" then you will burn more gas(it thinks its cold) and the timing will retard (I think) to compensate.

I'm not changeing it by much, it is the same ohm/temp readings at the bottom end only 100 less ohms of resistence at the top to similulate 20 degrees more then what it is so that the fan will kick in. I think that timeing and engine speed are set off of the knock sensor, AIR TEMP SENSOR, and O2 sensor, all the water temp sensor does is tell the computer when to engage and disengage the fan.
