NO! They don't need to bring back the ABM ZL1s . We ABMers would like to stay exclusive

I don't have the info, but from reading posts by 2SSRS, RAYS and JSHARP, the bottom parts of the insert (for channeling water forward to the radiator) at the throttle body needs about 0.5 to 1.0 inch????

Yes I would say an inch would be good. you just need to get your air intake tube going south asap when it comes off the lip of the throttle body. The quicker it dives the better clearance you will have. Then you fab up something on the other end to turn it back into the filter tube. I used two 45 degree couples one on each end and trimmed them to get it to dive quicker. So maybe more like a 50to60 degree coupler would be ideal.

Maybe you will have better luck finding it.

I also had to trim the left back corner slightly for it to fit properly.

Do you have any pictures of this temp sensor you speak of?? I was planning on doing the brake ducts and figured I'd need the lower center duct for the ZL1 to pull that off. Is this where you say the temp sensor is on the old lower duct?

I'll get a picture/pictures tomorrow. I haven't messed with it yet because I'm getting the other parts ready for paint. There are a couple of solutions I'm thinking of.

Okay first thing I did was drill one hole to where the Air temperature sensor will fit in to. Ill leave like that to see if it will give accurate readings. If not I will go to solution #2 that is cutting out the old one and putting it on the ZL1 air duct.
