C6 pan

Always, especially with that high of a rear gear.

now the $200 question is; are the cheapo chrome ones on ebay good enough, or should I save more pennies and get the expensive aluminum?
thanks

Personally, I use the finned aluminum ones, they tend to dissipate heat better in my opinion.

Yes the Ally ones are best, add stiffness to the case too .

I recently experienced that a pan for a pickup was deeper than the passenger car pan... if a tight budget is involved, a truck pan may hold you over. The filters are different depths, and I am sure there may be differences beyond that also, maybe someone else will chime in on this.

The cast aluminum ones have been said to be a bit better in the strength department.

If cooling is the main objective, get the best external cooler you can afford, as this will also add volume, and much better cooling than a deep pan would offer, imo.

Dont get the chrome! Chrome holds heat

get the tci kit

here's what happened to mine with a standard chrome pan.

Well, my panel truck won't see a lot of extreme abuse or track use, but that girdle/plate in the link seems a great strenghtener...anyone make those?
