Be careful! This was only standard on the Z06 models and was an option on the verts and coupes. Make sure you have this option or you'll drive yourself crazy looking for the filler neck.

You ever wonder...
How does the car know how much Techron to put in the left tank and how much to put in the right tank?
And do you need to do a few slaom runs to agitate the mixture?
Do you need to use the Fuel System
Treatment first, or the Fuel Injector Cleaner first?
I'm confused.
Sometimes I don't know any more after thinking than before I'd begun...

I would categorize your questions as normal things to be concerned about. If you look carefully around the forum, you'll find many others that think pretty much the same way. It would be nice if you all formed some sort of club...you know, like Mensa or something!

I think it's more of the angle of the dangle equalling the heat of the meat which is not to be confused with the torque of the dork.

But you have to then state if we are referencing parallel or perpendicular to the normal to then know if the angle of the dangle is directly proportional or inversely proportional as well as if it follows a linear relationship with the heat of the meat.
