I'll bet that if you were to measure the engine bay temps (in a few different areas) in a Z06 and then in yours, you'd find higher temps in your engine bay. The open areas that allow cold outside air to enter the engine bay are blocked off with a Vararam setup. This has nothing to do with radiator and hence, engine cooling. Rather, it is about the plastic and rubber components that may very well experience shorter life spans from the higher than normal heat being generated by headers and the lack of front-end cooling.

The AFE pictured is not a true CAI.

Vararam, honker or flip tie is the way to go IMO

FYI

To add to my thread about Advanced Flow Engineering (AFE), I discovered today the company was founded back in 99 by two ex K&N engineers. Hopefully their intake system will do well and I will post info on how it is doing.

Thanks for all the feed back!
