If not sponsors here then that's the reason, if they are then I don't know.

They are not sponsors, that is why. I was told that one member was almost banned from the site.

Also interested in the fittings on the catch can, the ones that come with it seem archaic.

Sorry if this is dumb but why is a larger water reservoir needed?

It's an easy way to add cooling capacity to the system. Adding fluid capacity helps reduce the heat soak problem. Ideally, a larger heat exchanger should be added to provide even more capacity and cooling area.

Or you could do both but one thing is for sure, it will be alot easier to flush/fill the system now.

yup, that's for sure. I have no idea why GM didn't give us a reservoir like Ford did with the GT500. it makes it so much easier checking the fluid vs the stupid way of uncapping the little filler cap and pinching the hose to see if there's any fluid in there.

that's just stupid.

Yeah it definitely is stupid.. I wonder why they didn't

Ordered mine and the H/E. Cant wait.

Anyone who is ordering the hex getting an upgraded pump? If so what are you going with?

TripleBlkZL1 · 08-22-2013, 06:48 PM

From what I heard this is the best pump out there for the ZL1.

Is this what you run tripleblk?

TripleBlkZL1 · 08-22-2013, 07:07 PM

No not yet.

Lingenfelter did a test on a bunch of coolant pumps, and it flowed the best.

I'm not going to upgrade my pump, if the CTSV guys are upgrading to match our flow rate with the Varimax pump then I'm going to run with the one I got for now. That one from lingenfelter you linked above also needs to have additional thought put into the wiring since it requires more power.
