Default MS4 installed on '02 Z06 - vid inside

I have a 2002 Z06 with the following mods:

Vortex ram air box
Smooth bellows and air bridge
TSP MS4
TPIS ceramic coated longtubes, 1 3/4"
Off road X pipe
Borla stinger exhaust

Here is a vid of it idling after I tuned it a bit with my hptuners...

Best precam dyno was 386 rwhp on LG's dyno... any ideas on what this will make? I'm planning on dynoing it saturday at USA in arlington.

It feels noticeably faster on the street, but the clutch isn't real happy with it. After a second-third gear pull to 7k in each gear it halfway sticks to the floor...

The car gets loose in 2nd which it didn't before and third pulls pretty darn hard!

I'm hoping for 420 rwhp but we will see... maybe I'll be surprised?

It's just the air bridge over the radiator... it's bigger and wider than stock, and I've got some flexible rubber couplings that are bigger than stock. I'm not sure how much
I picked up, probably not that much actually.

Dynoed it yesterday, it did 425 rwhp 390 rwtq... got some knock on the big end and it dumped some fuel in which took the A/F to 12.0-12.2:1 so there's some more power in it... The power curve is very broad and seemed to peak where I let out around 6900 or so... the higher I can shift it the faster it will go! It was above 400 rwhp from 5500 rpm on up.

Thumbs up

Time for some cnc'd LS6 heads...you'd be at 460rwhp + with just the addition of those economical heads..... Then a fast 90/90 and you are right up there with the best of the best.

well, hows the driveability? love the lope. but just wonder how nicely it will transition from idle to rev.ing. to me, that will determine how driveable it will be on a stock longblock. can you make some more vids? love to hear some reving and full out acceleration. what pushrods did you use and Im guessing that means you didnt have to notch the pistons? must be a valve timing thing, doesnt this cam have huge lift on teh intake side? oh yeah, do the prc duals work for this cam? this sounds like the setup to me. post a graph if you can also. please.
