ORIGINAL: vette95
My 95 Also runs about 230 before the fans kick. Now if the air is on they seem to be on all the time, and the car will run about 195.. My buddy is going to loan me his computer, he told me I can change the temperature that the fans come on. He said to drop it under 200... So I may try that.

This is NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!
The engine is not overheated until it hits about 260
The fan comes on with the AC to cool down the condenser so the AC will cool.
It does not start to cool the engine until about 225 and does not come on high speed ontil about 235.
This is typical of electric radiator fans.
If you are looking for maximum horespower, there are aftermarket PROMS, thermostats, ETC, that will keep the engine cooler, about 160 F, for slightly higher HP, but the engine will wear out faster.
The engine really LIKES IT at about 210 F !!!
