No Power Steering Cooler with ECS Kit??
Well, I just found out you lose your power steering cooler when installing an ECS S/C kit on a LS7.
What are my options? What is the majority of ECS LS7's doing?
What is the negative of not having a PS Cooler? This car will not be hot lapped or circle tracked/autox. It may be driven 3-4 hours at a time on road trips, and used for some roll racing.

I removed mine.. LS2. Made things a lot easier to work around.
If I remember correctly base models don't have power steering coolers anyways, so I figured it wasn't that big a deal.

Took it off, never looked back. Unless you are doing 30+ minute hot lap sessions not an issue. Base corvettes dont have them.

I did an Expedition cooler just like pictured above on my car and run Redline power steering fluid. Haven't had a chance to do any track days yet but I'm pretty confident it will be ok as long as the fluid level isn't too high.
