sounds like the wrong type of core
a good one will cost between 600-700 bucks
the $200 generic ones just don't get it done unless you run pure methanol
How do you know your temp gauge is reading accurate?the temp went up over about 20 min got close to 250 then fans came on
It did not overheat
Have you confirmed the gauge reading by other means?
:SMILEY:anything I can do to have the fan come on sooner?
If you told us what year you are talking about it would be a big help.

The analog gauge or the digital gauge?I did not confirm temp any other way just gauge.
The analog gauge is "indicative" only ;well know to be inaccurate at the top of it's travel
The digital temp gauge is the only one that will give true coolant temp; does it display same temp as the analog gauge?
In any case even if the temps you are seeing were right, it is not overly hot based on stock setting were the fan is set to run at 228F
The GM manual says to turn the engine off and let it cool down if it gets to 260F ( actual )
what brand ?550.00 With Shipping !
the popular Vette supplier have DeWitts for $500what brand ?

That makes no sense then.....
is your air dam on ?
is the condenser clogged ?
there is no way you should have any need to fiddle with the fans with a DeWitts
