    I would leave the air dam, helps cool the radiator at highway speeds, my front is cut out and it still heats up, thats with the RK sport extended air dam too.
    I also dont use wiper fluid since I just use rain x all the time and detail it often enough so the wiper fluid and plastics are out of the way. Also, Im getting the tubular front bumper, so I already took that whole thing out for measurements. Then with the tune, i set it up to have the fans come on earlier. Got a 180 thermostat in it as well. That car never sees over 195.

    Rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

      I would still leave it in, I run without the bumper ,drilled 160 stat and programed with hptuners , with high/low fan switch. Especially since you want to turbo it. Just running on the highway N/A I was seeing 220 temp in cooler weather, didn't use the fan switch, wanted to see how high it would go, and it got pretty high.

        That might be from the drilled 160 thermostat. Anything under 180 is for strict racing purposes only. It doesnt collect enough heat from the engine when its that low. On a hot track day, my temp didnt get above 210. When I do a turbo kit, Im going to be spraying meth to help keep the temps down a bit as well.
        And awesome, I use HPTuners as well for mine! I wish their interface was a little more user friendly like SCT, and SCT doesnt support our Camaros anyhow, but HPTuners definitely seems to have a little more to it.
