LT1 Mod Questions
C4 Tech. FAQ and need help with some of the Recommended mods that do work.
1) What's a removable Frisbee ?
2) Where to find info on the Electric Water pump? Can it be used on the street?
3) Beem Plates? (must be suspension related)
Thanx

Water pump can be run on the street but I would run a light inside the car incase the pump quits you can see the light go off.
C- beam plates are to expensive for what they are.
Not on your LT1 engine for the other ?.

If the pump gets a short or loses power you know right away.
I know the pump only last for some of us about 2 or 3 years.
Yes you can look at your temp gauge a few miles down the road and wait 10 hours for an LT1 to cool down.I want to know before I pull out of the drive way ,to save that walk back to the house.

The frisbee is on 88-91 vettes, not LT1s.
You should get the Meziere, its the best of those out there, it doesnt last as many years as the stock one will but it will cool the engine better. Any overheating problems you have now will probably go away.

I'd get one from Summit, it usually gives back about 10ish hp.
I wouldnt do it for the power gains though, do it if you need the better cooling or need a new WP already.
