Thanks for the pics. I think what's getting lost in this is that there just isnt a ton of real estate for effective cooling solutions in the C7. Anything that pushes the boundaries of performance (e.g. > 900+ whp) is really going to require some level of packaging "compromises". While some of the more common solutions will produce a good dyno number, you really see the effectiveness when pushing the cars on the street or track. Case in point...how many 1000+whp C7 are there out there being filmed getting walked by "lessor" cars or barely able to run 9's in the 1/4. It aint all driver error...

^^^ I agree I really dont see doing this to my car for the diff of the power level. Now if it was a full race car 99% of the time yes I would but since I will be done with the car after this. I will be happy with around 850 rwhp and happy on being able to go any place I want in the car & also in heavy traffic also.. Robert

If it’s an all out race car, wouldn’t it be better to just go for a proper air to water setup? Totally agree that this is probably too much cooler for a road car. It’s not going to help with ECTs that’s for sure!
