Engine Build
So i took my Z28 to Tick performance today. I getting 799 Heads , LS6 Intake 04 Z06 cam, lifters timing chain and all the rest to go with it. Right now it's a 98 LS1. I'm also putting in a 2600-2800 Torque converter. Two questions. Do I really need a Tune with these mods and will I need a Transmission Cooler? Any Thoughts? In essence I'm going from a stock 98 LS1 to an 04 Z06.

i would say defiantly a tune and i believe when getting a torque converter you are better off getting the cooler to so it lasts better. sounds like a nice setup tho, def post up some pix and let us know how the car runs after

Could they load in a tune from a Z06 vette because that's basically what you have. I don't know what the difference would be between a stock Z06 tune and a dyno tune, given the Z06 never came with a auto.
I'm going to ask this because I'm sure someone will but probably not this nice. Why did you decide to go with the stock Z06 cam and not an aftermarket cam? Again I'm not bashing at all just asking the question.
Are you planning on any other mods in the near future?

Sounds like you know exactly what you want. I wouldn't let other people talk you into a significantly larger stall if you don't want it. I have a 3200 and it IS a noticable difference from driving a stock car. A 2800 or so like you said would keep it closer to stock while keeping from having to stand on the brakes from the slightly bigger cam than stock you are looking at.

Yes,even though what i like is a far cry from a lot of the gearheads here I am getting a little excited awaiting the completion of my build. This is the 2nd time Tick has worked on my car and he is only the 2nd person that has touched my car since I bought it in November 1997. I do all of my own work because Most the the Parts Changers out there don't have a clue.

OK So i spoke to the Tuner up there and he wants $500 and he will put it on a Dyno don't need that and DO NOT have that kind of cash. What can I do to maybe get a tune put in for the 04 Z06 vette engine and get the SES lite for the EGR tuned out? I live in the Charlotte NC area is there anyone local that can do this for me at a Reasonable price?

#1 for tick Performance, got the car back today and it runs Great! I had the 2600 Stall converter put in and really if I had it to do over i wouldn't. It's good for getting out of the hole but i'm not really interested in that too much. I'm just Glad I didn't listen to all the people that said go larger.
