take engine cover off, on the back of the IC cores you will see two valves with plastic covers coming off of the aluminum lines, when the car is running (or pump is on) depress the valve and you should get a steady stream lightly flowing from it, no water flow means air in the line or bad pump. Not sure about your one wheel hop, both mine hop only in the winter, in the cooler air the hop becomes worse because the tire compound gets harder

Jason...I think you are talking about the schrader valve with the black plastic cap that is attached. They actually look like A/C lines so be careful and get the right ones that are coming off the I/C cores. My car has never had any wheel hop issues at all. With the LSD I may have wheel hop that I never had before....we shall see soon. I would get a tech to check the rear ABC struts and make sure that they are holding pressure and there are no leaks. The lines to the ABC struts have check valves too that are prone to leakdown.

If I was in Vegas and had to bet on what contributed most to the increase in power and performance of the CL65, it would be .....................racing gas. Actually I'd bet the house. Anyone wanna chime in....100 octane unleaded?

When the Z06 shifts to 5th, it falls on it's face. The M6 is geared much better at that speed. That's all it takes to produce the results you saw.
