No , not at all . the Big Mouth lays on the lower radiator baffle and under the air deflector. Please check the picture on the web site first page easy install , it show a close up ! http://www.C4orceCorvette.com , thanks !:)
thanks! i checked it out looks pretty cool! any on the car pics? the first one looks photoshopped in and the 2nd is cool but i really want to see what it looks like from up close facing the front of the car and from afar facing the front of the car on pavement.

BTW did you get my PM i sent you?

Thanks!
 
Damnit! That is so irritating!! Why is it I can see the first picture but cannot see the newest additions?? This isn't the first time it's happened either. :hb
 
The reverse Grand Sport above is mine - the Tuna Sport.

I installed the Big Mouth this past weekend and it works as advertised. I'm seeing 4-7 degrees cooler water and oil temps already after it's fully warmed up. The installation took about an hour to complete - I didn't rush anything and I replaced the center spoiler section while I was under there.

It does stick down below the curb finder/skid bars but not as far down as the spoiler. I learned a long time ago to pay attention to curbs and speed bumps, so I'm hoping that I don't find any high curbs inadvertantly. In the meantime, I'm happy with the results and the way it looks. Thanks Eric!
 
I've hit mine on both sides, not on curbes, bit on dips going from the roadway to parking lots and stuff. I'll try and post some pic's soon. The BM stood up pretty well, but of course I messed up the finish.

Sure wish I had that glowing bowtie emblem you were gonna send me though Eric.

I am sending the decal with a scratch gaurd for your Air Dam ! I moved and finally settled in ! I will send an email to you.:)

Sounds good, didn't know you were in the the middle of a move :)
 
Yesterday was the first 100 degree days here in Oklahoma since I installed my Big Mouth so I thought I'd let it warm up and see what the temps would do.

After fully warmed up and cruising at 60MPH, my coolant temp was 186 to 188 and oil temp was 203 to 205.
When I got stopped or slowed by at traffic lights, the coolant would creep up toward 195. (I didn't sit too long at any lights.) After getting up to cruising speed again, the temps would quickly drop back to the range above.

I didn't get to document any coolant/oil temps before Big Mouth with 100 degree outside air temps, so I can't swear to the level of improvement. However, these temps are an improvement and the rate of cool down to them after sitting at a light seems to be better also.

This is on the Tuna Sport with an LT4+ motor and 6-speed. For pictures of the Tuna Sport and my Big Mouth installation, check out http://www.grandsportregistry.com/photopost/ and do a search for "Tuna" or "Big Mouth".

Thanks for listening.
