You can mod your stock thermostat to open earlier.

Place a spacer in the housing between the piston and the wax motor (a plastic pellet).

GMHTP just did this mod.a 160 with the fans turned on earlier is good for about 3-5 hp.i still think tuning is a good idea though.

I did the SLP 160* thermo and fan switch.I also had the fans come on earlier by way of LS1 edit.Fan comes in real useful at the track in the staging lanes.I did not see any gains,but it is nice to know she is runnin cool.
