Default Installed e fans and servo today

OK so today i decided to install my ls1 efans and corvette servo....install went fairly well, had a few hiccups but all in all i got it done.....ill post pics of install later. Now i have some questions, FIRST on the efans....i let my truck idle for the longest and fans never come on....turn ac on and 1 fan comes on high...i drove around for 10 minutes and stoped...still no fans came on, temp was right under the 210 mark on gauge and never went past it. i used a blackbear harness and he tuned my truck and turned efans on....so what is up with that????

SECOND, i installed my vette servo and i drove around and it dont feel any different, maybe a little faster shift at wot, well i noticed my tranny temp went up to 150 in about 10 minutes....usually it takes a while to get there....is that normal?

i contacted him about this when i did mine.let your truck idle for a few minutes with the ac on full blast mine took about 4 mins and both fans kicked on low speed and they will come on high around 220 so its just in your tune and i had no problems so far

yea i had justin tune it for stock thermostat settings for the efans.....i turned my ac on full blast and let it idle for about 10 minutes...only 1 fan would come on, but my temp never went past 1 line before 210.

so the stock setting is for them to come on at 227? i guess thats why they never came on huh?

just so you know, the temp gauge in the dash isn't really accurate. It's good to tell you when you're up to operating temps but that's about it.
