Agreed. Considering all of the testing and validation that Chevrolet performed on the ZL1, I don't think that the ZL1 in stock form will exhibit "huge" heat soak issues.
I haven't taken the time to really pay attention in the videos that we've seen, but duplicating airflow on the dyno' through the HE is also something to consider, that is a factor while on the track. I know we've seen some fans blowing, but I don't know how well typical dyno' fans really duplicate racetrack speeds. This might not be as important on the 1320', since there's only the airflow from the radiator fans until the car is moving, and since it's only moving for about 13 seconds, it seems to me dyno' conditions could really have an impact on efficiency.

I know that there are great products out there that would greatly improve the factory offerings, but I also really believe, in stock for, that Team ZL1/CAMARO really did their homework. I belive it is up to the owner to determine the path of performance they want to take the car and really consider what's going to be the most effective for their purpose.

Yeah - an NA Z28 would definately be a better track warrior IMO.
