The front of these cars have a LOT of items up there. There is a reason you do not see too many blower, especially top-mount, applications on the road course. I've had clients remove superchargers from vehicles when they get so far in depth with road racing and go with the big grunty torque monster N/A motor.
Not saying that the ZL1 isn't a GREAT track car, just saying if you want to track and run 25-30 minute + sessions, it you may want to look at aftermarket cooling, especially if ambient temp's are normally high.

I tracked my car for two days at Sebring a few weeks ago. Ambient temp in the morning was low 50's and rose to about mid 70's at 2:00PM. I want to install a larger heat exchanger (HX) to add additional fluid and heat reducing capacity. I watched the videos on this thread and the chiller does a great job cooling while driving but coolant temps and IAT rise very quickly under full throttle acceleration. I can see the application in a drag race situation, 10 to 15 seconds but I honestly do no see an advantage to the chiller in a road race/track situation of 20 to 25 minutes per session. I am I missing something?
