Elite Engineering 05-13 C6/06-13 C6 Z06/09-13 C6 ZR1/10-13 C6 Grand Sport Corvette 3/8" Aluminum Tunnel Plate (ALC-375)
ALC-375
Regular price $345.00This is very similar to Elite's Most Popular ALC-250 exept it's an extra 1/8" thicker. At a full 3/8" thick 6061-T6 aluminum, this plate is three times as thick as your stock OEM Tunnel Plate; Coated on all sides with a specially engineered ceramic coated. This is the a great choice to offer both chassis stiffening and heat shielding to reduce the amount of heat transfer from the exhaust. Primarily designed for the Road or Autocross Racer.
Since its release, the redesigned Tunnel Reinforcement Plate has been one of the hottest suspension mods for the C5 and C6 Corvette. Installed on both the C5R and C6R Race Corvettes, it has been proven over and over again to reduce the amount of torsional flex in the chassis. In addition, Elite's ceramic coating adds another benefit by offering some heat shielding from your exhaust system.
The engineers at General Motors acknowledged the benefits of a stiffer more rigid Tunnel Reinforcement Plate and improved their original design and incorporated something similar into the new C6. Elite took their design one step further!
Elite has re-engineered the undercarriage tunnel plate on the C5 and C6 with strength and performance in mind. CAD designed and computer precision cut, our 1/4" thick (6061-T6 Aluminum) Abs-of-Aluminum Tunnel Reinforcement Plate is twice the thickness of the stock OEM plate. The benefits of this added thickness is a much more rigid and stiffer tunnel plate. Therefore reducing the amount of flex in the chassis and improving the overall functionality of the Corvette suspension.
In addition to improved stiffening, another major advantage of Elite's Tunnel Reinforcement plate is the heat shielding it offers. All of Elite's Tunnel Plates are coated on all sides with a specially engineered Ceramic Coating to reduce the amount of heat transfer from the exhaust into the interior console. For similar heat shielding, check out Elite's ALTA-250.
