Question Can I Regulate the Cooling Fan Operation with LT1Edit???

I recently put in a 160 degree thermostat, which makes a great difference as long as I'm moving... Of course, it helps very little when I'm in stop-and-go traffic or in the staging lanes.

I would like to program each fan to come on sequencially say the first at 178 and the second at 188 or something like that to keep it nice and cool, with the ability to kill them at WOT for the best 'Foot to the Floor' performance.

Is this all possible with LT1Edit (Only $50 more to go and my Piggy Bank will let me buy it!) or are there limits to how detailed you can program the cooling fan operation?

Summit sells a replacement coolant sensor that fakes out the computer into turning the fans on at 185, but this seems 'half-assed' and unnecessary if I can do it with the computer anyway...

Cheers,
Scott

LT1 edit can program your fans to come on whenever you want them too. Although I don't see the option to turn them off a WOT or any times besides for the getting too cool part. Although honsetly the amps the cooling fans draw arn't enough to warrant any horsepower loss in my opion.
