Great looking car, HUSTLESTUFF. The car has a great color combo and a great stance. Plus, you get it on the track!
Tom Quad, in particular, always preaches the virtues of extra brake cooling. While poking around on V8Miata.net, I came across a brake thread and some posters were also promoting that same philosophy.
The guy at V8Miata.net added a twist to this concept by using the
electric air injection smog pump on his 2002 LS-1 Camaro to provide continuous airflow to the front brakes. This way, the brakes are being force-fed air if the car is moving slowly or even if it is stopped - and he claims it moves a "truckload" of air. His monetary outlay was less than $50; a few bucks more if you use "proper" brake hose ducting.
The poster's build-up of the system was originally posted on LS1Tech.com. Here's that link:
