SLP Fan Switch?

I was wondering how much this helps performance wise, thanks.

I use the fan switch to cool down between rounds at the strip. Not while driving. I let the computer handle that part !

I know in stop and go traffic in the summer at cruises mine gets up to like 212. and thats not good for when the light turns green. im getting one soon. and ive got a cool mod for the TAs without traction control.

I'm guessing you're talking about the "override" switch that allows you to keep the fan running at all time, not just when the car heats to a certain temp. The SS I bought this spring came with this option, and I don't think the things worth a hill of beans. I noticed no improvement turning it "on", even in hard acceleration in the summer time. So I doubt you'll see any improvement using it for a V-6, if you can't notice it on a V-8.
I'd save the money and use it for a coolant flush (if you hav'nt had it done in 40,000 miles or so), or slapping a Flowmaster on, you'll see more noticeable improvement in car performance doing that.

I have the 160 t-stat and programmed the fans for 160, and it never gets hot... 185 is the highest it seems to go. Thats street cruising & at the track !

I bought my car this last month and ive already changed oil belts filter flushed dexcool etc etc and ordered a emblem from TSS. and its got no cats... and the 3 inch flowmaster exhaust and the free HP mods... btw.
Plus I think the fan panel im getting looks sweet. I know this summer ill need that switch. The last cruise in of the year was a week after I purchased my car.

lucky

I have the SLP Fan Switch and yes it does work even with a stock thermostat.
I use it on Hot days and at the Track.

FYI- flowmasters suck on these cars unless you go with the 40 series or so...
