turned the rough edged Camaro into a well trimmed nasty beast
. All was good with the balance, and things were as they should be.
Many months later, on the first 90 degree day - something was amiss
. Although Todd was entertained by the sound and monstrous fury of the thunderous LS1, something most horrible began to stew in the interior of the holy Camaro. And then on the second 90 degree day, it became very clear. A most terrible thing, a fatal yet never before discussed flaw of the sacred Camaro reared its ugly head. Oh yes, it was true, the Camaro interior was a stewpot for the dreaded hot ***** syndrome (HBS)

Feared by all that is not cool across the land, Todd and Chuck Norris set out to conquer the nasty that is HBS. Not accepting defeat, they gathered up their trusty dremel tools and set out for battle
.
Today, I share with you the results of merely 3 minutes of their glorious genius
.
The problem:
Fabricated by evil, the stock Camaro interior is devoid of the sacred ball cooling vent. As you can see, the favored driver’s side vent tilts only just barely horizontal. It is almost blasphemous but even the horrible Mustang provides a world-class nad cooler.
The details:
Using a single roundhouse kick, the driver’s side vent panel may be easily removed, and the vent is easily snapped out of the housing by pushing forward from the back. It is after this you will see the dreaded tab of evil.
The fix:
Here we see that the dreaded tab of evil has been removed by a force of pure goodness, or a dremel tool, as it is known to mere mortals.
The happy ending:
Now we see that upon replacement, the driver’s side vent may now be aimed well down, allowing for proper air routing up the shorts leg of the driver - thus quelling the dreaded hot ball syndrome forever, and restoring balance to the world.
Thanks be to Todd, and Chuck Norris, for this wonderful gift. If you appreciate this gift, let ye post up your thanks.

So is this mod sig worthy??
99 Z28, Lid, Headers, MAC Off Road Y-Pipe, Magnaflow exhaust, !Sway Bar, !Ball-Cooling Prevention Tab.
By the way, how was the seat of the pants feel after this mod, better than a turbo?

Chuck and I talked it over, and we both agree that what you need is a couple small squares of adhesive backed foam, or foam rubber. Something like home door strip insulation should work, or 3M actually makes industrial foam which would be ideal. From the factory there are two small squares of this stuck to the inner upper wall of the vent housing - providing the friction to hold the vent in position. Likely yours are gone or worn down.
You'll need to pop the vent out, and clean the area really well for the adhesive to take (rubbing alcohol). Then you'll need to trim the foam down to just the right thickness that is provides enough friction - but doesn't work itself loose.
Chuck doesn't know the best place to get something like this because he'd just think about it and it would come to him. I'd think home depot or wal-mart should have something suitable.

Chuck Norris once visited the Virgin Islands. They are now known as "the Islands".
Chuck Norris owns the greatest Poker Face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 World Series of Poker despite him holding just a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
Ok, i have plenty more but just had to add a few in.
