[QUOTE="stone4779, post: 9802787, member: 26238"] To the ones that actually took the time to answer the question: THANKS! There are a couple reasons I just posted a new thread. First its a b1tch to search for something like that...what do you search for? "no 6th gear"?, "top speed"?, I mean comon I would have gotten a billion threads asking "Whats the top speed of this?" "Whats the top speed of that?"....its different when you wanna know what belt to get for a 2.76 pulley...search for "2.76" youll find everything you wanna know about your pulley...but its not that simple with my question...kindof hard to figure what KEY words I should search for, seeing as how all the key words in my question are far to common to narrow it down to less that so I figured I would start a discussion. The MAIN thing I was looking to find out is this: "And what can be done to remedy this problem?" The heat from the blower I pretty much figured that...but I didnt know the PTW clearance was a factor.. Thank you for that new tidbit... Soooo apart from swapping to a twin screw or turbo you're pretty much restricted 1-4 WOT runs huh? Well that kindof sucks but I guess not a real issue as its my daily driver...but when I had my Z28 I used to take it out for a 175+ run quite often and it was great...wish it wasnt such a big deal but I guess eventually the eaton is coming off anyways so my next question is this: If you remove the eaton, and go twin screw, or turbo(big fat intercooler of course) IS this still a problem? Would the pistons heat and expand enough to do damage with a more efficient power adder? Side note: Would a 50 shot of nitrous keep it cool enough lol?
