I assume your using the ICT spacer to fix the bolt pattern so that's basically a thermal spacer itself....

Putting and lt4 blower on a stingray will make more power...

you will only see heat issues if you drive it like you want to kill it and in relatively hot temps.

you can drive the ***** off the Z06 in 70 degree weather and you can drive it 8/10 in 100 degree weather. the issue is mainly with the autos and 10/10 in 100 degree weather.

you can't even go 6/10 on the street (even if 6/10 for the car is 10/10 for you).
