I swear Fords coyote with a 2.9 ltr. whipple would do much better in the Corvette with no overheating and same cooler size.
Username checks out.


The heads are not even on the list of problems with the Z06.

The small chassis is one of the positives of the Vette although it doesn't help the cooling issue.

The high revving blower is an issue.

I'm not sure the coyote with S/C would fit without doing some of the things they are doing anyway to fix the heat issues in the Corvette.
