If your not doing at least 75 mph, dont even go there. With this kind of hp, you will slip the clutch if you get in it at low rpm in 6th. Plus this loads you engine with extra fuel at low rpm and is hard on you motor. Dont drive with rpm lower than 1800-2000 rpm. if you notice your rpm dropping below this, grab a grear! The LS3 likes to growl a little anyhow. Just some advice from an old road ripper.

I was thinking the same thing, the gases must come up from the parking brake area. makes sense, and I like the idea of the vent, must really help things run cooler, ofcourse I'm sure it's all about making things cheaper in the long run.

This thread should be called bad drivers smell.

yep, same thing they make Truck brake pads out of, I always hold my breath when I smell that crap, it's deadly. thye must use it in car brake pads too, look at any box of pads, it always says "do not blow off dust with air or inhale brake dust".
