Track Mod Questions
Howdy Yall,
I have a quick question in terms of Mod Order/ necessity. I have an 08 Z06 Will Cooksey Edition (Not that it matters but incase vette ppl care) that I bought to double as my track car. It Came with the Lingenfelter 630hp package and when I tracked it at the end of last year I was getting very hot after not too long. I am planning on going with the Dewitts Radiator upgrade as my only mod for this winter. How badly do I need the increased oil sump if I'm not on R comp tires? I am doing reliability and ergo mods first but I also am trying to pay the car down quickly and get seat time (24year old trying to buy a house so trying to balance funds appropriately). The oil sump is still high on my list but I want some thoughts from other C6Z track guys, can I just get the intake oil baffle and call it for now? As for the seat, ive just been using cinch mode and it does okay for now but definitely need to upgrade that because I was definitely fighting in my seat fairly hard.
P.S. Its got upgraded Carbotech track pads but will also need rotors soon (Stock currently and there are some hairlines starting).
Let me know any mod suggestions you have.

It depends on how far you are trying to go and at what rate. If you're going to stay on 200 TW tires, get an upgraded radiator and an upgraded engine oil cooler. and get a good seat, harness bar, and harness. IMO, you will see the biggest adjustment from that, not bracing your leg against the door and holding on to the wheel to keep in the seat!

Try to get an 09+ tank just for that extra piece of mind even if you dont intend on running slicks or super sticky rubber.
Ron davis or Dewitts radiator with an improved racing oil cooler and you're set for cooling. Good brake fluid too since you already have pads. Rest is just mods to keep you planted in your seat and seat time in general
