Heat dropped before turbo= less pressure. The piping running to the front is fine, it's the stuff running back that kills you

Sounds like Apples and Oranges to me. High strung V6 vs lower rev-ing V8.......

It may work out nicely on the F-Bodies, but prolly net different results on the Zs. I have no proof though. Perhaps someone can be the test subject / pioneer considering both Zs with that setup have sold or up for sale......

Yeah. Me too. It leaks a ton of heat. Anyone with a basic understanding of thermo can see the problem
