The inner fender area is always full of cool air. It's not a "ram air" type effect, but rather a thermally isolated box with much lower temps than the underhood area. This is something the OEs have been doing for years.

With the LS9 and DSE subframe, are you using the Concept one bracket and if so did you have to notch the sub for the ac compressor fitment?
Thanks

OK, had to think on that one for a minute.

We used the Concept One system for the LS9, but this car has an RHS block, which has both small block Chevy and LS engine mounts. We needed to remove some material from the small block engine pad and slightly notch the engine mount bracket to fit, but it was not that big of a deal. It cleared the DSE subframe.

Thank you for the information.

The ZR9 will stop with the help of Baer six piston brakes at all four corners. These will eventually be powder coated to match the car.



The crew fabricated the transmission crossmember with exhaust reliefs to provide as much ground clearance as possible under the car.
