[3kgtSL91]

So I guess I'll start my thread... a little late since the car is almost together, but better late, than never :rofl:

So I got an 08 z06 mostly stock, had a vararam intake and a tune

Oh? Details?

[CoreyB]

That carbon looks great!!!

[3kgtSL91]

Oh? Details?

what would you like to know? it's going to be air-2-air. gt35r based twin kit. tial gates and bov. pretty much very similar to our camaro kits.

[wraith]

Why start with a zo6 ?

[3kgtSL91]

Why start with a zo6 ?

i am not sure i understand your question

[vr4tune]

I think wrath is wondering why stat with a z06 instead of a regular c6 vette

[3kgtSL91]

to me, it's like comparing an SL to a VR-4. completely different cars. i love the way z06 looks much better. aluminum frame. 7L engine. better drivetrain. wider rear tires, etc.

[Uniuno]

Why start with a zo6 ?

I was wondering the same thing. Kind of like putting new axles and lockers in my Rubicon when it already came with it from the factory. Could have started from a base Jeep and gotten the same result. If there are frame differences between the z06 and a base c6 it makes sense. I was unaware they were that far different. I thought they were an engine/brakes/appearance thing.

Nice work, I love the build!

You upgraded the suspension, and replaced the best thing about the Zo6, the engine. A regular vette is almost the same car minus a couple of minor things once the power is made much higher, but you can start with a car half the price. It's a great build, and yes the zo6 looks badass, but all of that's not a big deal to do to a regular base model vette, so I wondered why you decided to modify the higher priced car and not keep the high revving light motor with its dry sump.

[3kgtSL91]

it's still a dry sump. i wanted lighter car (aluminum frame) and i'll need as much of a tire in the back as possible to put all that power to the ground :)

This.

I destroyed a rear diff in a regular C6 that only had an intake and exhaust.. Luckily it was just one of our used cars that I was looking into buying and I did not put the pen on the paper yet. That would have sucked.

[MDoe8]

Very nice build!
I like!

[guido1205us]

Did you ever get rid of your 3s and regret it? I'm looking at an 09 C6 - I'd like to simplify down to one sports car and I'm wondering if I would regret dumping my two 3s. I'm kinda thinking I will.

I don't have any plans to mod my C6 if I did pick it up.

[3kgtSL91]

i still have my 3s cars

Man, nice quality build! Beautiful car!

I need to pick up that detector mount for my Valentine. Got yours hooked to your Hud?

[3kgtSL91]

i believe it's hooked up to the mirror

[guido1205us]

i believe it's hooked up to the mirror

For power - sure. I meant:

HUD One (http://www.swarga.org/hudone.html)

The Z06 is already a fast car - can't imagine what it would be like to ride in yours. It must be insane.

[3kgtSL91]

that''s cool. i didn't even know such thing existed

[MDoe8]

Is that a twin turbo kit or are you building it yourself? If building, any reason you aren't keeping the stock manifolds?

[3kgtSL91]

yes, that's a twin turbo kit we are designing. stock manifolds will not work on the vettes. when we made a kit for camaros, we were able to use stock manifolds. on the vettes it dumps them in the middle.

[MDoe8]

ok makes sense, just a placement issue. need pipes facing back

Interesting design.. I figured you were going for more of a conventional log, like this one:

http://ls1tech.com/forums/attachments/forced-induction/273561d1294760917-where-find-log-manifolds-back-coating.jpg

[3kgtSL91]

log style manifolds don't flow well for our power goals and there is not much room to work with so we tried to get some flow design going

Did you ever get rid of your 3s and regret it? I'm looking at an 09 C6 - I'd like to simplify down to one sports car and I'm wondering if I would regret dumping my two 3s. I'm kinda thinking I will.

I don't have any plans to mod my C6 if I did pick it up.
I thoroughly enjoyed driving my '94 TT daily for 17 years before replacing it with a C6Z (not a daily driver) almost a year ago. I certainly miss driving the Stealth in the wet and snow (which was highly entertaining), but when the pavement is dry, the Vette is a far more visceral experience (mine is stock and will likely stay that way).


http://b.a.d-cd.net/cb94538s-960.jpg
The stock head unit is horrible. I replaced mine with an Android HU that runs Torque (thread here (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/audio-electronics/3501820-android-head-unit-and-backup-camera-installation.html)).

[3kgtSL91]

hot sides done. started on fuel system.

Yea, my LS3 is pretty fun to drive at stock. I'll probably do some simple stuff, like a ported throttle body and maybe headers\exhaust. But the way it is now and my inexperience driving it has me rethinking my longing for adding a Procharger i-1. 3kgtSL91 build is going to be nasty and I can't imagine driving something like it - I'm sure I'd shit purple twinkies mashing the gas.

That's pretty awesome - thanks for the link!

Quick question for you guys - is there a CAPS/ASA equivalent for the Vette? Did you spring for the Helms Vette service manuals or is there something better? What do you guys use for tuning? HPTuners/EFILive, Diablo, mail order? I'm guessing 3kgtSL91 will be using something more advanced like HPTuner

[green-lantern]

Damn what a build!

[3kgtSL91]

we use alldata and repairlinkshop.com
for tuning mostly hptuners. they are pretty much the best in our eyes and we have tons of experience with it

[3kgtSL91]

New stuff:
- 4.5" Bell intercooler core;
- Black anodized Nick Williams throttle body
- Samco radiator hoses.
working on running all the lines now. next will be cooling.

Go hit 200 at the half mile! Dang 1200+, so cool

[futurevr4man]

That is insane.

Nice build! Always fun to see a Z pushing +1,000whp. Are you pretty much done or are you going for more?

p.s. I love the extended spoiler! Katech?

I'm not saying I've been in a blizzard in my Vette... I'm just saying..

Oh I forgot to ask if you guys ever decided on pricing? Have you designed a setup for the non-dry sump cars yet? Also, if you need a donor LS3 car...I might know one :p

yes, pricing is already on the website. and yes, we'd like to have a wet sump car for R&D. i'll give you a deal on one if you decide to go forward with it :)

[AudibleSilence]

I'll talk with you more when I'm closer to pulling the trigger bud. I was going to go with an F1X procharger, but I'm leaning more and more toward turbo. My car is auto btw.
