I had some oiling issues last year (oil being sucked into t-body and dripping down past air filter).
So I hope these mods will alleviate that.

•Dual Catch Cans from CCA
•Oil Cooler (Thanks Randy @ DRM) race version with setrab 625
•Oil Cooler Thermostat – Mocal. 180 degree – Didn’t find many users here; some said it would not fit. No issues here.

Also just installed
•Turn One Power Steering Pump
•Joe Gibbs Power Steering Fluid

And got the car dyno’d (340 is pretty low for stock z06 but that is for a different thead).

I also installed the Mocal unit with the 180 degree bypass valve when I pieced together a engine oil cooler setup for my '02 Z06. I considered this essential as I drive this car on the street as well as on the track, and without the thermostatic function, its difficult to get the oil temperature up to an operational level during normal street driving.

Would not work on C5Z06 with Headers so I went with the standard Mocal *200 thermostat. A little more plumbing involved but it came out nice.

You will be really happy with your set up

just curious - did you try it with the spacer they now include with the kit?

Yep, the problem is the KooK header tubes are very close to the upper area where you would install the adapter. I just don't like hoses and/or fittings that close to the exhaust.

Did you do the installation yourself? If so, how hard was it to replace the power steering pump. If not, how much labor did you pay approximately? Thanks

www.ls1howto.com has a nice heads/cam swap with detailed pics/instructions that will show you how to get the PS pump out. It's not hard, but one bolt is a PITA to get to and takes a long time to get loose
