New 408 Iron Build for the Z06 Here's a copy of a thread from the nitrous section on my current build. Should be on the road/track shortly. Looking to put the Z06 into the 9.xx club, but we'll see, as I may have to take it easy till tranny and rear are upgraded, or maybe not.
The motor was built to handle 1000hp, that's the gurantee, however, to start, I'll be staying around 700rwhp, we hope. The reason is time and $$ for tranny and rearend.
Anyway, the L19 studs from ARP are a high tensile strength and can torqued higher than stock ARP studs, 90 lbs ft. This equates to 40% more clamping force over stock torque. No real need to go to the expense of 1/2 studs and subseqent machining, however, the L19's aren't exactly cheap. Motor was built to my specs and with a starting 300 multi stage shot in mind (dry of course).
The nuts and bolts of the short block:
Iron 6.0L Block-new
Callies CompStar Crank-4340 4" stroke
Wiseco Forged Nitrous Pistons-8cc reversed Dome 4.030 bore
Childs & Alberts Moly Rings-1/16, 1/16, 3/16
Callies H-Beam Rods-ARP 2000 7/16 bolts, 6.125
Melling B/B Oil Pump-ported/shimmed
ARP L19 Head studs
ARP Main Studs
GM 6.0 MLS Head Gasket
Clevite 2199H Main bearing
Clevite 663H Cam bearing
Keyed Balancer
Clearances:
Piston to bore-.005
Main brg-.0025
Rod brg-.0022
Ring end gap-.028 top, .021 second
Rod side clear-.022
Deck Height-9.230
Quench-.040 w/.045 gasket
Bob weight-1778 gm
Here's alink to what I did to the stock LS6 at 665rwtq for those that haven't seen it.
Z06 goes boom

You should like that little set-up 
I have reached my NA limits on my little 6.0 iron block stroker.
Soon enough after my 2 day roadrace trip to VIR in early July, it will be time to change my screen name to..........ALLTHROTTLE&SOMEBOTTLE
