I took the Corvette back to Zmax Dragway for a night of Test and Tune. In this video I mounted the drag wheels and tires. By the end of the night, I dropped over a full second in the quarter - and I got my fastest time ever!
When I got rid of the stock airbox - I left a giant hole in the fender where the intake goes.
I took a VCM blockoff plate - cut a hole for the intake tube to slide through - and wrapped the back of the blockoff plate with a heat shield to keep the engine bay temps away from the intake.
The Allison transmission in my truck overheated. I tried to fix it by replacing all of the fluid, both transmission filters, and upgraded to the deeper Allison transmission pan - but it still was running warm.
I decided to buy the Mike L transmission cooler - and install it.
After I installed the new cooler - my transmission temps dropped by 30* and I have not had an issue in 2+ years.
The install is pretty simple - the hardest part is getting the front end of the truck off. Swap the coolers - hook up the cooler lines and your done.
