Doing some changing to my car and 'hope' to drop into the single digits next year and run some street car type events. These usually involve a drive of around 30 miles and three runs after that. Also, my car is driven ALOT and I am concerned with heat in both the race events and cruising around and/or road trips.

I do run a front mount transmission cooler but do not have clearance for a deep pan

As I understand the rules, per NHRA, I will need to equip my car with a flex-plate shield and transmission shield. A blanket can also be utilized but I have read a few issues with them reference fitment, getting hung up on linkages, and dealing with the straps. One less thing I would rather not deal with.

I did a little bit of research and have read where some have fit a CSR Carbon Fiber transmission shield over their 4l80 with good results.

I am curious if anyone on here has ran this shield and could share their opinions/results. Keep in mind that I will be running this transmission in a 2nd Gen Camaro so my clearance is somewhat limited compared to a full size truck.

Thanks.
