FWIW, I was pushing pretty hard, I saw 1.14 lat Gs a bunch and 1.15 a time or two. I'll get back underneath in the morning, hopefully I missed a harness short or a bad connection. I'm dreading the whole dealership warranty claim soap opera... especially with no code.
Ironic, those ducts were one of the first things I thought of when the car started acting up. Definitely my next investment.  |
May want to double-check the EPAS connectors and the associated wire loom for minor rub-through. TSB 19-NA-026

My understanding is that the scoops are to help purge heat from the lower portion of the engine compartment under track/extreme driving as the EPAS can be effected by the added heat from the LT4 powertrain. The other Camaros (i.e. SS and SS 1LE) don't get the scoops with the vehicle, aren't included in the bulletin for the scoops, nor have I heard them need them. I have them (bought them in case) for my SS 1LE and have not installed them yet (I've not seen issues in any of the track days I've done 80F+).
The steering issues I've heard on
none-ZL1 cars is either related to 1: the recall, 2: early programming (mostly 2016 cars) or 3: rare occurrence of connector not seated correct or wire loom rub-though.
There are two things to the kit: the scoops and opening up the side portion of the cradle a little bit (with the removal of the factor deflectors, which extend over the bottom lip of the side of the cradle).

"This may be caused by reduced air flow around the power steering gear during extreme track temperatures."
