Looks good. If you want to test your fans, I would recommend doing it without your AC on. With the temperatures in Mississippi right now and one fan on low/high, it will take forever to reach above operating temps. During the winter months I have to sit at idle (Note:With my hood down) for about 5-10 minutes before my fans come on low. What's really nice about EFI is you can manual toggle your fans on and off, which helps to check your installation.

Not sure if it really matters but you might want to tie/brace/connect your coolant line to something.

The fan ON temp depends on where your trigger point is set. Did you install the 1/2 and 3/4 apply pistons or just the 1/2? I always install both kits. That way all the parts are changed to billet and you even get a new billet cover. The servo will NOT change your shift point. It will increase the firmness. There is a dramatic change when reach the shift point. It doesn't cost that much more to install both kits.

no i just installed the 1-2 servo...its not billet its just the transgo vette servo....i know it dont change shift point but it doesnt feel like it really increased firmness but it could be because i just spin from a 30 roll thru 2nd and from a dig is pointless...with tow haul on i can feel that its a little firmer.

The Tow/Haul mode feels like that without the servo kit. If you go WOT your 1-2 shift should be very firm. You should really feel a strong jerk in your set when the shift happens. I use Superior parts? What brand did you use? Superior uses billet apply pistons.
