I'll stay turned either way. love your builds!

Mark, as always your build is impeccable.

Will you be using Brembo's CCM-R brakes which appear to be their aftermarket carbon brake offering or will you be adopting the OEM Z-28 brakes to your application?

615-08-0503 -16X-12 ???

I like using a -16 to feed the engine and a -12 to return to the tank. It maybe over kill but it adds oil volume to the system and seem directionally correct.

Thank you Mark. So you are running the larger -16 line but your aren't modifying the tank and the LS7 pan... You are reducing from -16 down to -12 at the both connections of the feed line?

Hmmm...so I will be running a Tilton 7/8" mstr cyl and was planning on running a Tilton 6000 series TOB. Would this GT500 TOB be the way to go on a T56 Magnum?

I'm running the production Corvette ZR-1 CCM brakes with Bosch ABS ECBM. We ran CCMs on Jackass and they work great, just a bit challanging on the track to keep from locking a tire when they are hot. They go up in output as they get hotter.

We have a Peterson tank with a -16 output and the oil pan is stock LS7 so it does neck down at the pan.

The OE CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinders) self-adjust as the clutch wears. The "race" stuff needs to be set and as the clutch wears the pickup point moves. Well that is how it was explaned to me by one of the guys who designed this stuff.

So far the pedal efforts for my set up feels great. I bench bled my CSC and my master cylender before I installed them so it worked right are without a bleed.

Mark when you get a chance please post up the thought process behind the Centerforce clutch over the LS9 clutch you were planning earlier.
Also, any photos of the liquid coolant loop routing would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the useful information!!
