water temps?

My FD is stock for the most part except for the exhaust, midpipe and intake. I just installed the Power FC and with the AC off my temps will read up to 99c then drop to 92c if im idleing it. Does that sound normal. Everything on the cooling system is stock except for the all metal radiator. If im driving on the highway the temps are mid to high 80s.
Thanks for the comments

mine never gets past 85c. I have a Fan controller which i dont really know how to work it but it keeps the fans always ON. I have a Koyo Radiator also....

since you dont have a fan controller, do the FC thermo switch. i believ makes the fan come ON @ 95 instead of 105.. do a search on Theromo swtich..

Yes, if I remember you can actually do it through the commander.

Thanks for the comments
Yep that sounds perfectly normal.

As the others said, you can adjust fans using the Datalogit and its software.

Since you are running a mid pipe, keep an eye on your boost levels. They can get hard to control in colder weather. Especially above 5500 RPM (boost creep).

Cool thanks for the advice. I have been babying the car around lately until I put it on the datalogit software and tune it. Does anybody know someone in san antonio that can mess with the power fc???????
