Interesting! Well, what I have now is being replaced since they are switching me over to the 2650. But, I currently have the 2.5 gal fender tank and the Interchiller Stage 2. (if that's what your asking). Also, Kirk at FI Interchillers originally suggested (multiple times) that I get this pump back in January when I bought the kit. He said it will help quite a bit over the stock intercooler pump.

Well that’s not saying much lol as the stock pump is pretty garbage. CWA150 is plenty for most and is what I’m running. I guess some good testing and data collection on the CWA400 would be good info for all. But if you’re running a 1” main intercooler loop I just can’t see that 400 pump helping over a 150. The 150 can handle significant restrictions like heat exchangers, bricks, intercoolers, and a lot of piping with minimal flow drops. The 400 is designed to move a lot of water without a lot of restrictions, like an engine main cooling circuit. So I guess some real world testing would be great especially if you can log temp & pressure at a couple of different points in the IC circuit. In my mind a pump that split the difference between the 150 & the 400 would be perfect!

I'll do my best to get a lot of data when I get this thing back. I will reach out to Gabe and see what he can assist with as far as temp and pressure sensors if the setup does log those data points as is!

Update: Chrome Moley driveshaft is incoming a well. I think at one point I will be able to say, OK I need to STOP! Good progress photos from Nick ! Good progress being made! Looks like some piston surface clean up might be in order ! I have to think that's "from" the times my car went into limp mode (3) different times in 2 months and when driving, in limp mode, smoke was bellowing out the exhaust.

Your pistons are fine. That is not the reason for your random limp mode. These cars are so sensitive to changes that anything can trigger limp mode. May be something you need to look into in the future.

That being said, WOW! That Katech timing cover looks AWESOME!

Well Golfcoast is back ordered, so I can only find Driveshaft Shop that's in stock anywhere, unless you know of a different place? I looked at Beef Cake but couldn't really find what I need for the 10 speed automatic. I don't want Carbon Fiber since my last back experience.

I wouldn’t buy anything from DSS.

I’m sure Mark Williams or Strange could build you a nasty chrome moly DS.

[2023_ZL1-AUTO]

Yeah... my fingers are crossed. I was kind of out of time and options. Wishing for the best!

looks exactly like mine right now. Difference is mine took 6 months to get there, your took a week. LOL

RobZL1 - I do feel lucky I was able to pull the trigger and have someone else do all the lifting. But, what I don't get out of this project is the personal success and accomplishment of doing the job myself. But I'll admit, I would have my engine totally screwed up if I tried to do it myself !

Update: UPS showed up with some cool mods! Fire suppression system and the parachute kit! Garage Built - The fire suppression system looks really nice! Motion Raceworks - put together a beautiful parachute kit for me and it looks top notch !
