My only wish is if it had the Z06 shaped honeycomb grille I love that look design wise.

Really nice solution! Can’t wait to see some more data on it!

Do you have any dimensions of the cores used? Also, and this could be deceiving from the pictures, it looks like there is more room for a taller core? Is that correct?

9x9x2.5

The heat exchanger is pretty maxed out in the available space, leaving some room for a hanger.

It looks like the tank is lower than the intercooler bricks. Is it just the way it looks in the picture or is it actually lower? If so how to you fill and bleed it from there?

Is the kit also compatible with the stock (stage2/3) aero in front?

Yes, it is lower. We fill and bleed it with the pumps running and it works.

Yes, it would work with stock level 2/3 aero, although we recommend an oil cooler upgrade for full benefit. Either our oil-to-water that goes in line with the lower radiator hose, or our splitter with oil-to-air cooler option, or both.

This kit was ducted to work with an OEM bumper using our carbon grille insert.

It will not work properly with a ZR1 conversion bumper without proper ducting.
