Do yourself a favor, never add things up.
I quit doing it years ago and my Corvette experience has been wonderful ever since.

Question from a relatively new ZR-1 owner: Why the cooling fans?

The rest of the list makes sense to me. I'm wondering if stock fans aren't great, or if yours just had issues.

Thanks.

PS. Phil's advice is spot on. :-)

My secondary fan failed so I ordered two new ones. The RC injectors arrived today.

Either that or use as many F-Body parts on the Z as you can. I just finished installing F-Body front wheel bearings.
