I would have to tweak the fan. Right now it comes on at 213. From what I can tell from the scan gauge the timing is affect greatly by IAT but not so much by WT. I'm also thinking that this coolant, although pricey, might actually help in that regard and running it at 220- 225 would be the equivalent to the current 210.
