My buddy just got a c6z and my car is more comfortable, but his is 1000 pounds lighter...

I think GM tried to separate the performance cars like that on purpose. Corvette being the first step into the “all performance” end of sports cars.

 

[iceman440]

The first thing you do with a c6 is throw a set of heads on it and a cam in it.....

And nitrous lol

Then 10k miles remove the heads again because the guides are out of tolerance, Yet again. Lol. Seen way to many aftermarket heads wear out the same way. if you do a search you’ll see what I’m steppin into.

That’s where it’s at man. And no one has any idea what’s in it, they just think they are big g6’s lol

If I’m going sedan it’s a V or an SS. The g8 is cool but cheap as fuck feeling.

Oh I know the mess you are stepping in. I have heard west coast cylinder heads has this issue fixed, along with some others. What heads where on yours? My buddy has a set being put on his car right as we speak.

 

[T-Bagger]

If it was so fucking obvious, everyone wouldn’t have an issue with it.

I don’t even take security as a joke. Neither should you.

So how many years of service before we can do what we want?

Lol, you need more than MF and Cdn apparently

American heritage performance. Milled .020, titanium retainers, btr springs, measured the pushrods myself using the comp cams pushrod checker, hollow stainless ferrea exhaust valves, ported exhaust ports, moldstar 90 Guides, no cats, along with a porter manifold. Put down 509 on a mustang dyno. I built
It from scratch and did all the work myself

I have been the only one to touch this car of mine, even mounted the fucking tires.

How did the car run? Times? What cam?

The car ran like animal. No cam and it put down 509rwhp. It only weighed 3100. Any equivalent car needed 600 plus Rwhp to keep up. I didn’t put a cam because it was my daily at the time lol. I did all the work on the weekend. Wrenched day and night. I’m familiar with the 427 LS7 engine pretty well. Thoroughly enjoyed the Z and I’ll more likely get another when I have money to toss. They are truly badass fast machines.

Well, that’s because it is lol.

Also budget differences here big guy ahhaha

So I'm working from the home office again today and I wandered into the homebrew section like a dumbass so I'm not cooking any of the food I need to right now.

Also pinned .67ml of test E MCT last night and noticeable pip but no huge knot like the T400MCT left, I'll see how it progresses.

That is what I was assuming.

While my old car was fast as fuck, it was a junkyard build for its first half of life. So I probably 12k in that car total lol.

@TitaniumGear (TGI) sent pm. Thank you

Our we back on track in here? I have a lot to say following the @iceman440 event...are we as a whole behind this? @Mac11wildcat @Kim @mp46 @Urgentfury12 @ everyone in here...

Anyway, finally got my 20x6 front runners I have been waiting on..Also got the tune dialed in 100 percent with a log-able wide band.

Have a tune with even more timing in it, but I am fighting ait2 temps(blower side) Needing to upgrade the heat exchanger pump to push water twice as fast and maybe a small aux ice tank for the HX. This thing is seriously hurting feels with a stock cam, untouched heads, no blower porting and not all that much boost. (14lbs) Don't have any interior shots, but this has factory recaros and soft touch inserts on alot of it, with alcantra suede.

This winter, the build will continue.
