IC – extra fans on extra HE – which electric thermostat to choose?

Looking into this cooling issue with the IC – going for upgrade with extra HE and Johnson pump and some extra fans as NikleinR6 did …. but he made a switch for turning the fans on and off which I do not want. I found a 6” double fan set with an electric thermostat but which temperature would be the best for activating the fans? I don’t want them to be running constantly – only when in traffic after a long pull etc.

180F/165F
160F/145F
140F/125F

Anybody having any knowledge about this?

NikleinR6 comments on the extra fan setup:
-Attached (2) 6" fans to the backside of the new large heat exchanger up front that are controlled by a switch hidden in the ashtray. I do notice a difference. It would take longer for the IAT's to drop once i got off the highway after a long pull, so i installed the fans. They help tremendously while i am sitting at redlights and moving slowly. They don't reduce the temps more than if i didn't have them, but they absolutely do reduce the recovery time it takes for the temps to drop back down after they rise

Also, can you move your seat forward and a perfect camera shot. It'll help to figure out what it does
