lower rad support
so i am running a ECS supercharger kit on my car and have the ECS lower rad support installed...i also did the front plate mod as well as installed a dewitt cut down rad in my 03 z06...driving around town the car with a/c on will hit 220 to 230 and on the hwy with ac on it will drop down to 217 maybe 215, so what i was wondering is can i use the stock lower rad. support system and install the factory oem center air damn back onto the car?

you can drill holes in the bottom of their cradle and mount the air dam to it, you might have to trim it if your car is pretty low... you might also be able to have the fan temp settings changed to help out a bit

The lower air dam is supposed to be installed on the ECS cradle and will make a big difference. Although once stopped it won't change much, a better set of fans will help there. If you go to a stock cradle then the air inlet to the supercharger has to be restricted substantially.
