I don't know Matt, John Meaney's seems to work pretty well...There are also other things you can do like cut some vents in the front bumper ala callaway...front license plate cowl...air flow is a problem though....

You mean the '93 1300HP Turbo vette? Yeah, good point. I guess if he can get a core to support the power he's making under the hood, it's not totally impossible.

Ya, but I'm with you though.. generally speaking air flow has got to be a problem in the Vette... it's tight in there with no place for the air to escape. With my set up I am trying to overbuild the coolant system since the air has to flow across the intercooler and A/C condensor before it gets to the radiator. Of course, I think that's how most cars wit intercoolers work if I'm not mistaken.. I should have just bought a Supra.
