I figured with the Vette's engine so closely cowled it might be a little more of problem out there. I sure would luv to take my Vette out to Albq (daughter lives there). It would make for some awesome pictures to get with the car and the scenary.
Kewl thanks for the reply.

It doesn't stay below 180* for long in the summer 
And in a traffic jam in the middle of the day it got up to 200 
But this is still much better than stock 
It used to get up to 230 in no time, when the fans kicked in, just how it gets up to 180 now...and in the extremes when it hit 200 now, it would get close to 250 before And I don't know if that chip compensates for the higher altitude
...but I did by cranking the distributor a little Also I can't really say if I notice the 10% less hp due to the DA because I have never run this car at sea level.

Now I have to do a search Thermomaster chip. I like the numbers your getting. In the summer I run 198-205 at cruise and 220 stuck in traffic. I've done everything else possible.
Thanks for the info, we'll be looking forward for your next video too!
