Do you already have front brake cooling ducts?

Nope. Thinking about two options:

1) remove the driving lights for track days and have ducts behind them?
2) fab ducts outside the headlights - dunno if you'd get enough air into the corners?

Where else do people get clean air for first gen brake ducts?

Cheers,
Jason

I've seen people do them in the front lower spoiler. Should be a good higher-pressure area to pick air up from.

we can take some air from that front vent or besides the front spoiler.

Yeah I certainly wouldn't mess around with rear brake cooling until lots of other mods are done. Simple matter of priority I'd say.

My Mustang has front cooling ducts. And my Lotus has them at all 4 corners.

Rout the front air through the subframe and possibly Anvil's scoops in the rear: http://anvilauto.com/products/camaro...el-scoops.html

There's also a pocket around the front leaf spring perch that may accept a small NACA duct.

Vince-

I may be doing a private track day with some friends next week depending on the weather forecast (Will take my CTS-V if raining). We have a LaF, 918, and P1 coming out along with GT3 Cup cars, hellcats, etc. - should be super fun.

What oil do you recommend again? I'm an Amsoil dealer. Signature, Dominator, or Z-Rod? 10-30?

Thanks,
Jason
