More air in the front end please!
Can people please share what they've done to get more air flow into the front of the car? Including brake ducts and deleting the factory crash bar? Extra points if you were able to keep it looking close to stock.

Trackspec hood vents. Delete the mustache and impact beam.

I would assume hoodless is a poor idea, the restriction creates vacuum for extraction to a degree and is a safety measure so spewing fluids don't blind you. The track spec hoodvents, modifying the stock engine shield to give vents that create more vacuum (cutting little slivers of the metal and angling it down a little to create drag) are really the best cheap and easy mods I could think of. Are you fighting poor under hood temperatures that are far beyond the norm?

Get a fresh hood and drop in trackspec vents, unless you want to need a new LS3 at that track day. Watch your oil temps. I personally wouldn't ever run without a bash bar at a minimum. PM to order the JDL bash bar. Get yourself a better radiator and shround while you're at it. |
