06 Z06 Let the Modding Begin

We did a baseline dyno which delivered 453RWHP and 424 RWTQ. We then pulled the very restrictive factory air cleaner and re-dynoed the car. We then put down 474RWHP and 448 RWTQ!! +20RWHP from the air cleaner removal alone!

Planned mods include air box, a new custom Vette Doctors LS7 Cam, and a custom set of LS7 headers.

I love how chevy stuffed that bath towel in the air box. Just goes to show that this motor isn't even near it's potential. kudos to gm engineers for making a badass engine with plenty of room to play with(like always)

I will have the car there. I am not sure if I will have time to run it. I will be a little busy with the C5. And picking up Paul Z tissues

Paul,

You are one sick pup! And that is scary how easy it is to squeak out a few more horses from an already bad azz machine!

Looking forward to seeing it run.

453rwhp stock, wow! Impressive indeed. Even more impressive with the removal of that contraption of an air filter lol! 474rwhp Outstanding! What is the stock cam spec. on the C6ZO6? I haven't heard yet. I imagine it was small for idle quality. Just a swap will make huge power, already impressive for stock!
