I've never driven a more balanced car out on the road course. I am full bolt ons, ZZP coilovers (soon to be released, previously was on BC Racing coilovers), ZZP trailing arms, ZZP 6 piston front brake conversion, great brake pads, Dot 4, ZZP front sway bar, ZL1 rear sway bar, and 275/35/19's all the way around. I hold my own in the classes I compete in, but my tires (Federal RS-Pro's this year) are really the only thing that hold me back.

The only downfall on the non 1LE cars is the cooling. Last time I was out at the track (middle of July, very hot) I could only make 2 or 3 hot laps before I had to run a cool down lap. I have an auto trans and that thing does NOT like full 15-20 minute sessions out on the road course, it'll get too hot and start to deny shifts. Engine temps were getting up there as well. If I continue to road course the car I'll be adding some of the 1LE coolers to it over this winter.

If you were to add a trans cooler, would you try the OEM HD Cooling/1LE position (laying flat under your FMIC), or on the sides where HD/1LEs have one of the aux radiators?
