And honestly, though i love my car i miss a manual obviously (even though it's slower), and-being smaller and lighter like my old C5Z (which translates into consumables being way less money). Also I hate that it is Yellow and I have had loads of heat related problems being forced induction.

Still a good chance I'll be sticking with it, because I'm just not into throwing money away and it's a great car, so the C6Z will have to be the right deal/time/level of prep.
Well, looks like some great suggestions above to battle the heat. This forum is just friggin awesome even if threads get hijacked lol

As to the LS7: i have 3 buds who have lost motors before putting Aviaid dry sumps. All in long high G corners. None after and they are going on over a decade now. I know that valve guides got tons of attention in many Forum threads, but imo that's inconclusive and all i can go by is first hand info (also supported by my mechanic, who is a GM certified Grand Master Mechanic and an ex Grand Am championship winning crew chief). Just a data point fyi, that's all. Cheers!
