By the way I installed a 180F thermostat today.

Was it a messy job? What's the benefit?

No I just lost a few drops. Pretty straight forward job. I made some plugs to ensure that nothing leaks.





The benefits are that the engine doesn’t get so hot. Especially when we fly low, Either on the track or on our Autobahn. The valve starts opening at 180F instead of I think it is 200F regular. Therefore the oil gets cooled down earlier. It is not a must have but as the LT1 is heat sensitive it it more a precaution. Same as the CC. Mishimoto also sells those valves.

That makes good sense, thanks.

Very cool mods everyone. I’m back to working 6 days a week again due to back to school season in the optical world.

But....today I got “some” Camaro therapy in.

Thanks. There are some really nice rural backroads not too far from my neighborhood and over by my parents place. So I always go there for a relaxing cruise.

I understand, there are crazy curvy back roads in eastern KY, I hit them as much as I can.
