Thanks.

I am going to change up the splitter a little. The winglettes don't look bad, but I think I can do better. I needed a splitter that actually works. So this is actually attached to the bumper mount and made of a plastic aluminum laminate. It also meant converting to a front breather.

Shoot me an email if want any input.

No and yes. I think it uncovered an issue with my over flow tube. So it did over heat last year, but as mentioned I think know what caused it. We were losing coolant on each time attack. 15-120 minutes on track with only a 30-45 minute break in between.

That is being repaired so I will need to see if that fixed it up. I need to vent the hood as well, both for added cooling and down force. The tough part will be making it look good.

Ok...thanks. I'm in the process of converting my camaro to a front breather. I was gonna vent tge hood and box the front back to the rad.

For the kind of power you're running you may want to run the steam vent ports to a surge tank and basically eliminate the "overflow" type if system. You can get a couple extra quarts of coolant in the sy6that way too.

I had 505a's on my pewter WS6 a few years ago and absolutely loved them. That color looks right at home with the pewter.

I also love the hood. That's the VFN non-sloped version, correct?
