Default Need a Z06 Killer Experts in here

02 WS6-Auto

Im looking run with and hopefully beat a new z06. All N/A Ill add some spray later.

I need a combination of cam and heads that will get me to the 450rwhp range. Of course full bolt ons are present,3500 stall,and 373.

Money really isnt a issue but nothing to crazy, crazy I mean like over 3000.

Give me some imputs. Thanks

I'll give you the same advice I give my buds as the night comes to a close and only ugly girls are left: lower your goals...

450RWHP isn't going to put you in front of any C6 ZO6's.

450hp may put you in front of a stock C6 Z06 at the track. On the street or from a roll he will probably still get you.

Not to mention 450 out of a stock cubed A4 is no easy task.

Tell me about it,

certainly not $3000

See, it is not only a matter of HP but more of TRQ. Combine that with Vette lightweight and those are killers.

Not trying to sound cocky or anything, but if money is no option, 3 k will barely cover heads and cam. Like the guys said before, 450 is no match for the new zo6. Bryan is building me a killer with the best you can buy, we'll have to see what it does. Sorry about the damper on your parade. :

That, plus a nice NX kit will do the job (unless he has the same mods)

I made 478/565 with stock heads and cam - you just need to match the parts right and keep the torque high.

With my set up : 1 win by a bumper and too many losses. I think you would need a lot closer to 500 rwhp to consistently win. After my final phase on my car with LG in 2007 or early 2008, the final engine mods and tune will be done, handling, and some other stuff will be upgraded. Should be at 500 - 505 rwhp and 440 rwtq. That may not be enough. Those C6 ZO6's are insane. I know I definately need to ditch the EMT's for something stickier and lighter. Do yourself a favor as well, show up on fumes to keep the weight down, and hope the Z is full. Good luck. If my final mods don't get me out front, then I'll be forced to spray. Again Good Luck !!

Considering the OLD Z06 was faster than that (11.7 to 12.0) with a STOCK LS6, you're numbers are off.

If you saw this first hand, you may have seen a poor driver in a new ZO6 because they have WAY WAY more potential stock than the C5 Z06.

I don't know what stock C5 Z06s you're looking at, but they must have been on a downhill with a tail wind. I've never seen one in the 11's stock, and I put a few away before I got my cam... and I'm not a particularly good driver.

I've seen the new ones run 11.5's, and they certainly seemed to be bone stock. I know that would dust me for sure. With heads, a little weight reduction, and some driver mod power (meaning someone else in the driver's seat, in my case!), I might be in the same league at least.

Well Gauge, the record stock LS6 Corvette gets in to the elevens at the tune of 11.7x. From the paper air filter to the F1 tires it's all stock.

Also, let me point out there's a local guy with an LS6 cam and 241 heads in a '99 SS that's dipped into the 11s (that would be less power than a LS6 and more weight).

If the record LS6 car runs 11.7s, I can guarantee you there are plenty other vettes at his heels. Also, keep in mind biggdogg's generalization did not dictate a "stock" corvette. He left that field wide open.

Gauge, as for not being a "particularly good driver" those ZO6 drivers must have been a worse driver or were not really racing you.
