Default 500 RWHP in 02+ z06

How doable is that with a heads/cam z06 02+; with a stock shortblock
Anybody have one?
What mods?
What heads?
What cam?
Stock LS6 intake or other?

Will a Vic. Jr w/ elbow fit under stock hood?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

I dont think that intake will fit with the stock hood. I would think 500hp is a lot for a head cam package but then again I could be wrong. I figure with a good set of heads and a decent cam you could make 450 to 475.

It can be done, it's difficult, but possible. Don't worry so much about the dyno number as long as your car feels strong, it will be worth it.

You'll want a good set of heads/matched cam
fast 90/90
headers
ud pulley
intake

The Victor junior elbow will not fit under a stock hood. Even if you use a hood with an extra 2 inch clearance the elbow will likely be bent too much to take advantage of the intake. With a very high rise hood it may work.

you can hit 500 RWHP with some trick flow heads, stock shortblock, and ALLLLL of the supporting mods.. its been done many many many times by vengeance racing and their custom "smoothed" TFS 215's and ported FAST manifold.


its much easier to just build a bigger cube motor like me though

I opened a thread where I have videos, graphs and pictures about my 346Cid built-up.

The results are 511 rwhp and 455rwtq on pump gas and it is a daily driver...

Not that cheap but something special, take a look here:

What's funny is that you say "02+" Zo6...

The only hp differences in the 01 ~ 02+ are the cam and the fact that the 01 has 4 cat-converters versus 2 in the 02+

So if you do heads/cam/headers/intake you're really talking about ALL C5's not just Zo6's and not just 02+

Well many of the 01's did have ring issues, which while wont affect power it is still a difference.

Do you want a H/C motor? Your number could be reached with FI much easier. A maggie and full exhaust and a tune would have you over 500 rwhp.

Thanks for the info.

Joshua-Would want a 02+ for the HUD, and other little differences.

miami993c297- Alot of great info in that thread, Thanks.

WhosNXT- The plan would be a H/C, but if a Maggie popped up for around that price, it would be thought about.

last i checked Vengeance only had about 5 cars that broke the 500rwhp mark with a H/C/I 346. It's not as easy as you make it sound, but it can be done.

oh yeah? thanks for clearing that up jackass


i do believe i never said it was easy, i just said one of the only shops that has done it is vengeance and they have done quite a few. Do you really think they post about every single car they build on this website?



settle down newbie

Newbie? this is just a new screen name, i've been on here since 2001. I just don't post much because there's too many clueless people like yourself on here these days. Go back to your corner junior

I agree on the stroker. Much easier and you will have alot better driveability. I got my stroker, headers and a clutch. Then sold my engine and ended up only spending 6000.

LG Motorsports has done a few as well. They actually had a 346 making 530 rwhp and 480+ rwtq with their g5xx cam and afr 205 package plus all boltons. I will give you this however. I don't believe it was very streetable. More of a track car. Just my 2cents worth

If I was trying to acheive this goal I would just go with a bigger cubed motor, if you were against using nitrous, or any other kind of forced induction. Unless you want to make a statment with the stock bottom end, go for it, but I think in the long run bigger cubes are the way to go for you, also based on what Nwmembr19 said; also due to the money side of things also. Also as Nwmembr19 said better driveability. I can think of two cars (just off the top of my head) in my area in FL where these big cubed 402/408's that make over 500rwhp and torque, and they drive like 224 cammed Ls1's.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi AlexLs1,

As is driving my highly modified 346Cid, and sometime a lot better than modified 402 as stated in the thread about my engine...

I agree on the cubes, but it's by far not the unique factor of making an engine powerful and drivable...

I can agree with you, what I gave as an example is just what I've seen and experienced.
