Here are a few facts from the owner's manual that I either hadn't seen before or had seen misinformation out on the web. Thought I'd post here to aid others when searching for info on the CTTC.

1) Callaway deleted the oil cooler thermostat so oil flows through the cooler all the time.
2) An oil/filter change is 6 qts, not 5 as it is with the regular Corvette (I'm mentioning this because mine had invoices from the chevy dealer with only 5 qts per oil change).
3) The first 4 '87's did in fact use regular 4-bolt main truck blocks; they did not have splayed caps.
4) The first 11 '87's used forged 1-piece main seal cranks while from 12 on, a forged race crank with a 2-piece main seal and adapter were used.
5) A higher volume Bosch fuel pump was used in place of the Delco pump
6) 4+3 cars came from Callaway with the OD programming modified so that it's manually controlled.
