We did. Attached and currently covering part of the cooler.

The Stillen swaybar also made a noticeable difference.

I'm thinking maybe just do HFCs and call it done for a while (I might be kidding myself).

Sealed the paint today and topped off with some Collinite 845.

I just pop the plastic rivets on the front end finisher assembly, pull it off, reach down, and remove the block-off plate. Attaches with Velcro. It takes less than two minutes.

Excellent.. good stuff man. Let me know if you have any questions as to when you should apply it.. I've pretty much tested the waters with it.

Here's a Monday laugh for you:

Has anyone chipped their car? If so, mind giving me and reddit some feedback? : Autos

Guy claims Gforce chip added 50whp in proven dyno gains to his "buddy's car"

To retort the current top comment in the thread, I believe the opposite is true. In that, automakers typically tune their cars to meet epa regulations which indeed does leave a lot of room left on the table for improvements in the areas of horsepower and torque. Most cars are driven by your grandma and most people can't handle power of a pathetic 4 cylinder engine which is another reason a lot of performance is left on the table. I do not find 50whp out of this world for chipping a grand prix. Why do you find this outlandish?

the grand prix is a very different car than the Z keep in mind. The Z is a sports car and will not have this same issue.

Now is the specific product gforce any good? I don't know.

Doc, glad you are enjoying the swaybar

On the chip topic, see the gains on BMW inline 6s or the year to year increases for most other cars. We don't see gains on the Z because the VQ is already stretched to the limit.

Hey Doc,

What oil cooler did you get? I have a 34 row from Z-1. I am interested in making a block plate. Did you take any pictures of yours?

FWIW, we have no idea if this is the Grand Prix GTP (supercharged), which would add a very large variable onto the table.

I just measured my oil cooler, and cut a sheet of aluminum from lowes to shape. Then I used the heavy duty velcro and stuck it onto the front of the cooler. It's stuck like a champ ever since then.

And FYI, H20 - I disagree with EW on the whole "when" put the plate on. If you arent on the track, you may as well cover it up almost completely at all times, with the exception of summer. Then you can probably rock 50% coverage or so. But winter, should be 100% coverage, period.

Takjak2 made one for me exactly as you described.

As for how much to cover and when to uncover, you may well be correct.
