Easter weekend sounds good for me. I am doing the tune and lid as soon as she's out and even though I don't have headers yet I'm hoping that it'll be a high twelve second car with around 330-335rwhp. I might be setting my sights a little high for these mods but I can't be too far off since I imagine having headers and being full bolt on would put me at around 360 rwhp?

Also just wondering, I just read that here in Canada we have to convert our dyno numbers and that we generally dyno less? Is that a load of bs or is it fact? I thought it was simply sea level related.

 

No problem

TEA Trick Flow 215cc milled to 58cc chambers
LG G5XX Custom Ground Camshaft
VRD Ported FAST 92
Harland Sharp Roller Rockers

Numerous misc. other parts. I'll keep everyone posted

 

i can't wait to drive around with it wide open.

how's your's working?

 

No converting of Dyno numbers as they are already SAE corrected. You can also get the uncorrected numbers for your run just a click away on the mouse. Must have been an American magazine you were reading and you saw that we had to convert from metric to pounds..LOL. With you lid and tune it will be hard to break 12's as they usually run any where from 13.5 to 13.2 stock.

 

Mine never went away

 

Tomorrow.

 

Went and picked up the Formula from storage on Monday and since then ive been busy at work doing a full interior swap. While im in there ive put in a B&M Ripper and working on setting up my stereo system. Been a busy couple days lol but its done and looks damn good. Next is to get my high-rise hatch on and to follow with headers i got in the box begging to go on the car. Im sure there's more but thats whats on the mind right now. Today was a beatiful day about 12* just enough to pull the tee's off for a nice little cruise

 

Havent got it out yet, just put on the catback, doing the exhaust manifold gaskets..then gotta try and find a crazy hard to pinpoint oil leak out front and fix it.

 

Mine is always out.

 

Waiting for the rain to come, then e-cut out goes on. So when are you getting a new rear end?

 

When the 10-bolt brakes. So probably later this summer.

Looks like I've sold you on the E-cutout



And Jay, mine has worked flawlessly ever since I bought it.

 

When it quits snowing!

Still early now anyhow. Might get it out for a short drive in mid April. I want 100% dry roads with no cars that throw sanding gravel at me.

By mid May I plan on ramping up. I can only drive it 6 months of the year--and there aren't even full months!

Sucks to live in Canada sometimes

 

z06 comes out april 10th (good friday) and let me tell you its going to be a really good friday! Approx. 3 pm, im counting the hours!! Mods for this summer include AR headers and catted x pipe as well as halltech intake.

 

Had mine out yesterday, I figured i should take it out while the roads are good and before this crappy weather hits (raining right now). I forgot how much i love this car haha. This spring i'm getting the 4l60e rebuilt, vig 3200 converter installed. And h/c/i. prc stage 2.5 5.3 heads, torquer 2, and a fast 92. I have a feeling its gonna be a good year.

 

Was going to cruise my 99 a bit but weather has been not the best here and it was still stuck in the garage with fair bit of ice on the driveway that was several inches thick .Roads in my city are not bad on the main streets already, some side roads still ruts and ice.
So figured might as well do more stuff on it for next few weeks. I just got the 408 and the twin turbos running end of october and drove it a few weeks into november ,had to at least play a bit. Almost wiped it out a few times the 408 and the turbos are not that easy to drive on cold roads and my car didn't get factory traction control option. Wish I had that option now!

Couldn't really go wot last year as had 60 pound injectors but rest of fuel system was stock and was still running the maf and pretty basic tune.

So now ordered a twin intank pump and full fuel system and will be installing that in a few weeks hopefully and going to 3 bar tuning. Have some new interceptor guages to install and eboost2 boost controller. Also just ordered dana 60 rear end and some new torque thrust m mags . Going to bigger tires on the back not decided yet but likely toyo 315/17 drag radials. Have been running 275/17 nittos but they are pretty wore out.
Get another pair of maybe et street radials or m an h drag radials and mount them on another set of rims and run them at track and when want to have some serious fun off track.
Plan to dyno the car for sure this year and maybe track it. Car has no rollbar so would get kicked at 11.5 but we do have a slack track that might go to and push the envelope a bit. I am hoping to eventually see some high 9s at maybe high 130s for mph. Likely could do low 9s and maybe 140s at full power and still have spray to put on the car either single nozzle or direct port. My plate was to reflect my goal in engine hp. But figure on spray should be able to hit 1000rwhp with not much problem and can always simply upgrade the turbos if did want to go a higher. But don't think a 6.0 iron block can go much past 1200rwhp or so. After that an LSX block woudl be a good idea.

Also swapping over to 4l80e hopefully this season as well. Want to be pretty much finished with this car so can work on my 96z vert and do some more on my talons including getting my track only 91 talon ready to race but thats likely next year country.

 

Insured and ready to go now but still can't get the darn thing out of the driveway... I guess Nitto 555's aren't made for snow!

 

Got it out on Tuesday. Felt good to drive it again that is for sure!!

 

I'm out right now

 

25 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
