The fastest braking zone is a 130ish but its a sweeping turn so you only need to go down to like 60ish. Also, a 120 into a tight 40mph apex.

Yeah I will need to be implementing cool down laps when there is significant traffic for the brakes and engine. See my other thread about high oil temps at this track lol.

Order the 5VBW ducts from your local GM dealer parts counter...I did that and they showed up a week later.

Please tell me you all are removing the rotor splash shield and not just installing the deflectors alone????

The ZL1 comes stock with the smaller rotor splash shield. It's more of a heat shield for the bushings.

There's a fella on the 6th Gen Camaro 1LE Owners page on FaceBook who has been able to get the BW ducts for guys.

The SS brake ducts work better than the small ones but do hang a little low. Never caused me an issue but the car is not my DD. It does look like the Blackwing ducts are temporarly out of stock, wonder why.
