Help w/ Coolent Fan

Just got my car running since the rebuilt last night, but a couple questions.

1)What temp does the stock thermostat opens?
2)I noticed my fan does not kick on when the temp reaches over 200, what gives?
3) the fan only turns on when I have my AC on...

Do you think so kind of relay blow? Maybe I have the thermostat sensor wiring wrong? Any comments or suggestion will greatly be appreciated

Thanks
marco

1)the stock t-stat start opening at ~85-86C and is supposed to be fully open by 93C.2) the Power FC default setting is to turn the fans on at 99C or 210F. This can be changed using the datalogit.

I am located in Marietta
So the only way to change the default setting on the power FC is via datalogic?
Can it be changed via the commander?
Maybe I should just ground the relay and have them on medium at all time when the car is cranked.

you have to have the datalogic to change the settings.

the stock fans are not designed to run constantly and therefore i would not advise same, although i'm sure people do this all the time. also, if the fans run constantly (when winter comes around) you might have problems getting up to operating temps
