We've sold hundreds of these with great results to LS2 owners all over the world, now you can get the same results in your L76/LY7 G8!

Looking for a cost effective way to beat the heat in your GM equipped vehicle? Testing has shown that once the MAF sensor housing becomes heatsoaked your intake air temperature (IAT) sensor can read up to 50 degrees hotter than the actual temperature of the air being injested by the engine. So what does this mean for your engines performance? Precious timing is being pulled due to false temperature readings which not only slows your vehicle down but can also cause a slight decrease in fuel economy. Couple this with the fact that all OEM GM IAT sensors react pretty slowly to temperature changes and you've got a real mess on your hands!



Vector Motorsports is proud to introduce our Heat Soak Reduction Kit (HSRK) that will help you get the most of your GM vehicle. The kit includes all plug and play OEM quality components with no need to splice or cut the factory harness and we've done away with those slow GM OEM temperature sensors in favor of one that we designed that responds nearly ten times faster! This has proven to not only make vehicles more consistent but also obviously faster due to the lack of timing retard being pulled from false readings such as in the staging lanes at the drag strip where a normal IAT sensor may just start to measure a change by the end of the quarter mile.



One user with the LS2 version of this kit tested it back to back on a dyno after a few pulls without the kit plugged in he plugged it back in and recovered 8 RWHP!



Q: Your sensor looks like a stock OEM old style sensor, what gives?



A: Beacuse we start with a GM OEM sensor HOUSING and then add our own proprietary sensor that reads 10X faster than stock, this translates into heat soak being reduced significantly! When you recieve your kit you'll be able to see the changes we made to the sensor.



Q: Why dont I just relocate a stock sensor?



A: Because for the most part thats just a waste of time and money, why relocate the slow sensor you already have to a different location?



Q: Isnt this the same as the Ebay resistor scam?

A: No this is a real solution to a real problem, this kit does not "trick" anyhting into thinking its colder out, it simply allows the ECM to get a better idea of what temperature the air actually is.



The GM Heat Soak Kit Fits the Following Vehicles:

LS4 W-Body IE Grand Prix GXP /Monte Carlo SS / Impala SS

G6: All Models

G8: All Models

2007+ Full Size Pickups



The GM Kit may fit your vehicle, please email us with specifica applciations and we will research them and add the application if its compatible.

Just placed my order. Tnx.

Just kidding! Nice deal! Direct link would help though!

Thats for LS2 Vehicles the correct one is listed under the G8 and the new part # (GM). You want THIS one for your G8 and it looks pretty similar to the LS2 one.

No pic yet for G8 kit, so I posted the LS2.

I ordered the G8 kit @ $99.99 I think.

What's the install complexity? Also, any benefit other than drag strip?

We'll be adding this when you tune mine Chris. Please put one on the back shelf for me. :)
I'm so happy you got these in stock.

Just ordered one. Anything that can help performance and make the gas mileage more efficient for $100 is worth it. Are there any hints or installation tricks for this or is it pretty straight forward? Simply unplug factory and plug this one in? :driving:

Awesome, I'm going to be getting one of these soon. :)

Pics of where it mounts and all would be great!

:)

I'm sure I'll pony up for one too but would like a bit more info/pics.

I'll be taking pics of mine when I get it installed tomorrow. Got my voice mail Chris, will see you around 11 or so, depending on rain. Thanks!

Sweet thanks! :)

how hard is this to install?

Mine should be here tomorrow. Will there be installation instructions included? A quick overview here would be great...

I posted install already.

Can we buy one WITHOUT registering on your site?:(

:whine:

Vector, where have you found to be the best place to mount these on Roto-Fab intakes? drill size would be great too.

Looking at the Roto-Fab instructions it seems the only "soft spot", where hard pieces do not have to mate directly to each other, is going to be what Roto-Fab calls the "hump hose". I have a bit of concern that it will be hard to get a good seal there due to the shape of that piece of hole. Surely someone has done this exact install by now? I really don't want to make a mistake as I don't have a source for new pieces of the Roto-Fab hose if I screw it up...

Can't you just use some sensor safe RTV to seal it up?

maybe. Would like to get as clean a seal as possible to start with though.

Q: Why dont I just relocate a stock sensor?

A: Because for the most part thats just a waste of time and money, why relocate the slow sensor you already have to a different location?

I don't know about the G8s, but on the GTO you couldn't just relocate the IAT sensor. The LS2s had the wiring all together with the electronic throttle body. I had the LS2 HSRK, I didn't have any dyno numbers to prove that I got more power. But, my butt dyno could tell a difference in the way the car acted (for the better).

For Wreckwriter, you could probably check your local auto parts stores for a sensor grommet. It's rubber so you can get it into the hole & the sensor will fit in snug.

Found my own answers: for the Roto-Fab intake the best place I found to put the HSRK sensor was in the center of the "hump hose". An 11/32 gasket punch made a perfect hole in my case.

I have a buddy with a HSRK, says it was a waste of $$$ Does not make enough of a difference as once the vehicle is moving the temp comes back down in 15 seconds. Also, GM does not have an LS4 today that engine was in older vettres and the like from 1974 and older. GM gear heads might call it an LS4 but it's not really an LS4. just a new fouth gen LS truck engine in the 5.3 small block catagory

Hey wreckwriter, I'm thinking of doing the same. Could you post a picture of your setup and where exactly you made the hole?

thanks!
