Yes I would do headers next and I would recommend taking a look at the LGM long tube headers. Unsurpassed quality, support, and performance. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Eric<hr /></blockquote>If many people can get camaro's and T/A's into mid 11's some even low 11's with just bolt-ons(no engine work) I believe you can do that with a Z06. Find some good headers, exhaust, a converter, ET Streets, Free mods, etc. and it shouldnt take u much to get there.
Just my opinion

Just my opinion<hr /></blockquote>No converter, Z06's are all M6. The factory exhaust is better on C5's than F-bodys so beyond headers and !cats there isnt much to be gained from exhaust.

Looking at our lists the fastest bolt-on M6 f-bodys are running mid to high 11's in perfect conditions with a lot of weight reduction.

Another thing to remember, C5's will never launch like an f-body, its the price we pay for independent rear suspension.

As far as free mods, I havent found ANY that really do anything on a C5.

Re: 2002 zo6

Sorry bout that as i said converter forgot that they were all standard, My dad just ordered one didnt even think of that. Anyways its very possible to get it there its not like theres no mods for a Z06, many sponsors sell mods for the vettes and if no one has done it than me and my dad will sure as heck give it a try. Z06's run about 12.3-4 hooking at good elevation. With slicks and Minor bolt-ons it shouldnt take much to hit 11.40's or so. It just takes time and $$.

Re: 2002 zo6

If by low 11's you mean quicker than 11.50 , then I'm sure it can be done. If I were you , here's what I would do;
4.10's
MT ET Streets - 16x26x11.50
Heavy duty output shaft
Underdrive pulley
FLP Headers (w/ off-road pipes)
PCM programming

In good weather and on a good track , you should be able to run quicker than 11.50 (as long as you have a good intake system).

I recommend the 4.10's because I'm assuming that you're mainly concerned with 1/4 mile performance , otherwise you might be happier with 3.73's or 3.90's. The output shaft is a precaution but since you'll have the center-section out of the car and you'll be running sticky tires , it only makes sense to do it now. I would go with the FLP headers because they are a true bolt on system , they work well and they are the best deal out there right now (I think). You get a set of headers , hi-flow cats , off-road pipes and an X-pipe. All of it is HPC coated and it's a true bolt on system. No cutting , no welding , no hassles. With the off-road pipes on you'll probably see a 20 rwhp gain on an '02 Z06. All of that for about $1500.00. With the PCM programming I would correct your AFR , correct for the new gear (4.10) , turn the fans on earlier and get rid of the torque management. You won't have to change the timing , there is nothing to be gained by going past 22 degrees of advance above 4000 rpms.

Re: 2002 zo6

Ask LGM to make them bolt on, no cutting needed, where stock components go unmolested and then I might get a set. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

If I cant install it and uninstall it back to stock in a few hours on jackstands, I don't want em.

Will the LGM's go in from the top of the engine bay?

Re: 2002 zo6

with every single bolt on in the winter at hrp you'll be lucky to run an 11.7 if your going for low 11's good luck unless you go after the engine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

What does your car run now?
Bone stock with a good driver @ HRP in the winter should run 11.80's@118.
(with good track prep).
Also-a completely stripped camaro DOES NOT WEIGH 3775 empty.
It probably weighs as much as a Z06.
Where do you people come up with these 'facts'?

Re: 2002 zo6

Let's say you can run 12.0 with stock Z on good tires in average conditions, 75 deg.

It will take another 50rwhp to get quicker than a 11.5. Bolt-ons? Headers, air intake, pulley, 3.90's. It will be REAL close.

Re: 2002 zo6

I thought we were talking about low 11's. In my mind thats 11.0-11.3.

I'll admit that driving ability has a lot to do with ET , but with those mods (plus what he already has) mid-elevens should be easy. I ran 11.84@118.5 with just a Halltech T1 , a MAF Translator and 30# injectors. That was with the completely stock exhaust , stock tires and stock gears. I'm sure that I could have easily picked up 3 1/2 - 4 tenths with the mods listed above.

With the 4.10 gears and ET Streets you'll be going thru the traps at about 6000-6200 in fourth gear.

Re: 2002 zo6

The 30# injectors simply get your LTFT's (Long Term Fuel Trim) close to , or at zero. I am a big fan of running a larger injector for a shorter length of time as opposed to running a smaller injector for a longer amount of time. Besides , it gives you "room" for more improvements later. However , you will need to reprogram your PCM , or at least get a MAF Translator and spend an afternoon on a dyno with a wide-band O2 sensor to get your WOT AFR where it should be. As for the pulley , you might want to have someone install it who has prior experience with that mod. It's not too hard , but you have to remove the steering rack to change pulleys.
