i was wondering who here has this combo?

if you can please share you thoughts on the kit, power and anything else...

i plan on getting an 02 Z06 in about 6 months and am just lining up a game plan.....

the car will get LG's LT kit to start... and i was hoping that would be enough
with the A&A kit to make 550rwhp....

sound possible? or would i need to do a cam or head swap also?

any info would be great.



HAPPY holidays everyone!

I just picked up the A&A P1SC kit instead of the Vortech only becuase I got it dirt cheap off Andy. The P1SC kit routinely makes over 550 rwhp-over 600 if you buzz it. The Vortech kit made 588 on a 02 Z06 with headers just a little while ago. 550 rwhp with a 02 z06 and headers is EASY with Andy's kit. I was looking for a mild cam that will shorten the powerband a bit and mkae more power under the curve than the LS6.

looks like you have broken you share of parts.... are there a weak links that would need to be addressed before the 500+rwhp A&A kit?

thanks.

Those parts wehre broken when the car was N/A. A N/A motor needs to revved at launch-that's why i wnet the blower route-you can launch much lower and have the power of the blower pull through the gears. Even still-if you plan on doing any draging on drag radials or ET streets I would get the DTE brace and both output shafts. Good luck with the install and keep us posted on the results.

the car will never see a track.... maybe autocross? but mostly street driving/racing...

so the 10.5CR isnt to high for FI?

No not bad as long as the tune is safe. I'm going to get a set of 317's to drop the compression down to 9.9-this way it will be less likely to detonate if the car is run hard or starts to get hot.

M6HuggerSS

so what is a safe rwhp number on the stock bottom end?

A&A said they could get 525rwhp from a stock Z06.....
do i even need to do LG LT's? or is 525rwhp enough?

yes get long tubes. the person that you should be talking to is Andy from A+A corvette. 525 rear wheel should be no problem.

I would stay with 8 lbs and a conservative tune and the car should give you lots of smiles for miles.

Long tubes are just free horsepower-just stay away from detonation and all is good. Ease up on the timing (15-17) and run a safe AFR of 11.5. I just picked up a dynojet wideband commander-it has a warning system where it a light is activated if it a certain AFR is exceeded at a rpm. For example you can program the light ot go off if the AFR goes over 12.1 at 4500 rpm and up.

M6HuggerSS

so your saying 550rwhp with a safe tune is better than 575rwhp with a bad tune?

is there a rwhp max for the bottom end?

as it sounds pretty easy to get to 550rwhp i dont want to push it....
just as much power while keeping the motor together......

Yea 10lbs didn`t work for too long on your stock bottom end last year.

Andy @ A&A just told me that there kit and some LG's would get 550rwhp.

does that sound right? and safe?

550rwhp is totally doable. The safe part all depends on your tune-who is going to tune your car? In my case Andy sent me a base tune-total timing is 13 degrees at wot under boost. I will be tweeking the tune myself but I will keep timing around 15-17 degrees and never let the AFR go over 11.5. I'm also taking the extra step on installing some 317 heads at 69cc to drop compression from 10.5 to 9.9. These are things to stay safe-all your trying to do is avoid detonation-if you detonate then you'll blow up. But it will be harder to detonate with low timing,(15-17max)low AFR 11.5, and less compression (9.9 versus 10.5). You don't have to do the heads but I chose to for the extra bit of protection.
