Is you radiator completely shrouded? My factory built LAX neglected to do this, so some of the air that comes through the huge Cobra front opening is free to go over, under and around the radiator. Over one winter, I seald off the top, bottom and sides of the radiator so all the air coming throught the opening has to go through the radiator.I noticed an immediate difference the first time I took the car out. The radiator fan came on about 2 miles further aong the same road. I only drive for short trips in the summer, so I've never seen the fan cycle off. I've got a 180 deg. thermostat, but I'm not sure of the "on" temperature of the thermo fan switch. The "off" temperature of the switch may be below the 180 deg. F of the thermostat. With the t-stat holding 180, the fan won't be able to cycle off.
