I picked up my second PB 6-speed SSR from Freeway Chevrolet and shot over 225 in Phoenix traffic on a hot day. I called Mike. who had referred me to this particular vehicle I bought (a 2006 "Show Truck" with 91 miles and a healthy discount, and yes, production was "discontinued", although FPR were later made), and he installed an AUX fan. I have never seen over 210 since, even in desert speed runs. The space in the engine compartment, and the cooling system is totally different, compared to my daughter's 2009 LS3 Corvette. Trust me, we have twin brother trucks, and Mike has your solution, even if back ordered.
