Does anyone have any experience blocking the aux transmission cooler with a splitter? I realize there are splitter designs with large holes in them, but I’d like to avoid that. I plan to allow some...

eimarshall, it looks like you didn't cut a hole in the middle of the splitter to expose the transmission cooler. Has that worked fine for you regarding cooling? Able to get through a whole session,...

Thanks for the replies. I've witnessed one instance of a wheel coming off, sending a car into a wall at high speed. And heard of other stories of snapped studs leading to losing wheels on track. So...

Best stud solution

I've tracked the camaro for a little over 2 seasons (maybe 20 days or so plus some autocross) and am thinking I should replace the studs preventatively. I don't run spacers or anything, just 18x11...

I've run the ECS (on a ZLE) at a few track days when I was in the slower groups. They held up fine and were a decent tire at that pace. The car itself was able to keep me as fast as anyone in the...

The rubber blocks sit in metal trays within the jack. Without them in the tray, there's no stable surface to contact the car. So you need them even if you have the ZL1 add on jack pads installed. The...

I have the 6000ELX. I like it because you use the front most jacking point. That makes me feel a little better. I'd buy it again but there are some downsides.
