If you have a good functioning controller, this shouldn't be an issue, especially without a shroud. (@ interstate speeds)

That's what I meant

Yeah, at least 190. . Hell, your thermostat is probably just starting to open.

True, but if it is blocking the air, then it is getting warm, so the fan kicks on thus creating a viscous circle.

Update on my turd.... we (me and dj) replaced afm. Thought that fixed it. No go. Tried adjusting tps. Back to square one. Took all the manifolds off again. Discovered shart gaskets. Ordered new non shart gaskets. If they dont fix the problem im getting a haltech.

Do you know how to tune an EMS? If not, do you know who you plan on getting you to help with the setup and tune?

Im talking to Brian about helping me build the harness.

Awesome for the gaskets being possible culprit, not Haltech. . However, if that is something you do is probably for the best.

Gotcha. Yeah i figure if the gaskets dont do it then whatever it is thats causing it will be fixed with a new computer.
