What is the coolant temp under the same circumstances?

There is no reason a stockish Vette should be running that warm while at freeway speeds. When did you last flush the coolant? Clean between the radiator and condenser? Check the condition of all of the coolant lines.

The fan switch, chip and thermo will do nothing more than mask the problem (if they do anything) and lighten your wallet.

Both my 90 (350) and Dad's 86 (383) run under 200 on the highway with completely stock cooling systems - no chips, stock thermo and fan switches.
