Enough to Run a Bolt on C6 Z06?
i think everyone has called it like they see it...and im no different. I have a buddy who works on my Z who owns an 01 C5Vert mind you. He has an LS3 bored and stroked to a 418ci. He made 550 to the ground w/o the bottle. Got into it with 2 C6Z's...one stock the other boltons. He wore the stock one out pretty good. Taking him by nearly 3 cars by 130....the other was closer. No more than 2. Some of you guys may know him. Kris Keltner. He ran 9.81 in the 1/4 at memphis...spraying obviously.
With the mods I have, I put down 444whp and 413TQ on the dyno. Granted, dyno numbers are fairly generic and can be decieving so I know that really doesn't do the car justice. I need to get it to the track and get some e.t.'s but for now I need an opinion. I am still on street tires and LS6 intake(I know), with these mods and I am a pretty good driver, hpw do you think the outcome would be with me roll racing a full exhaust, intake, tune C6 Z06 who is also on street tires?
In our camp we have a bolton C6Z running very low 10's and a heads/cam c5Z that ran even faster.
i would like to know the specs on the C5Z....id also like to know if it was the stock LS6.

I just cant figure out why anybody gives a crap about "roll racing" just man up and run the 1/8 or 1/4 like everybody else. roll racing is a little to Ricey for me

Meh they arnt as mythical as everyone is perceiving them to be.
I seen a 08' C6 Z06 with a Cam, Ported Stock Heads, Ported Intake Mani/TB, Full Exhaust, Vararam, iforged wheels on M/T Drag Radials (lighter then stock) and a tune (580+) lose to a 91 Mustang GT from a 40 roll (306ci and some gas)
Guy in the vette could drive too
Just get some n2o

I made 443 whp and 399tq in my c5z and got beat by a stock C6Z from a roll. I ran a Z with headers, fast intake, haltech (SP?) intake, and a tune since I changed my cam and added a blower. From 55-60ish he jumped me hard since he could go from second and I was going from 3rd. From a higher roll it was a little different. I pulled him. Not terribly hard, but I was out front none the less. Those C6Zs are some nasty little bastards.
From what Ive seen (I worked at a dyno) the 08's put down more power than the previous years with the stock tune, but it all equalled out after the tune. With stock ones I have seen as low as 412rwhp and as high as 475rwhp, so that doesnt seem to far fetched to see 480 with a cold air.
I know, I read it funny though!
He wanted to see your Z before you left and take a ride in it and stuff.. Just see how the exhaust/cam was in it. Next time you come up you need to run over there with me.
