    Did you do anything about that red hot manifold almost touching the brake lines at the master cylinder? I imagine it won't end well left like that.

  • @TheAcceleratorMagazine

    Been experimenting with trying fans from twin engine yacht engine compartments that exhaust fumes to pull heat from Corvette engine compartment and duct it out thru fender wells or behind front tires. Could possibly exit thru vents cut in the hood since heat rises neway. Got 671 BBC blown Pro Street 64 Corvette but don't run hood on it so that helps it cool. If you cant get the heat out it don't matter how much radiator and fans you have. Heat acts like a barrier to air tryin to come thru the radiator.

Like a guy that was running an all aluminum race prepared big block in a 91 roadster with a six speed . Slicks on the back skinny up front and through mufflers. It pulled the front wheels up about eye level if you raced him.

      @AndieBlack13 Před 4 lety

      Yes, although this TT makes almost twice the power, what does that HP & torque curve look like? This is the fault of big power turbos, all or nothing..low & slow torque off the bottom, & the "on off switch" when it makes boost...as the power climbs too rapidly, the rears break loose immediately & you can't catch it. Give me a smooth, big, power & torque curve...only possible with lots of cubes...downfall?, the extra weight. PS, nobody is going to think this is a plain vanilla C4 Corvette, the bling bling wheels, the roll-cage & the too loud exhaust?, really?
