I have an LS6 clutch in it. Original hydraulics without the drill mod though. I know it's the hydraulics because it grinds when I try to put it into gear at a stop as well. I have to pump the clutch up after the super embarrassing grind at a stoplight. Tick master is definitely on the list for the near future.

I know right...I mean, what was gm thinking throwing one of those pos in a Zo6 . Sorry, but with all due respect that's an ignorant statement. You do realize what guys have run right, with bolt ons and ls6 cams? It's the setup, not the cam. But hey your comment looked cool, for a moment.

No, I've been waiting to bleed it all out again. I did have everything apart to do the drill mod/heat shield so maybe I messed something up?

It's z06 clutch/pp and replaced slave at 112k (at 152k now)... Seemed to work fine until the headers.

Sorry, after posting from my iPhone for a few months now I stopped noticing grammar mistakes. I'm lucky if I can manage to post the words in the right order.

Entire cam swap was 200.00 (pretty cheap considering the gains) and I don't race much/dont have a big ego so losing just isn't a problem.

I'm down 10-15rwhp without 243s (should be 370ish rwhp after trip to speed inc per other combos posted on here) and car is 3390lbs... I'm ok with that, question is why do you care?

Just because someone likes to win doesn't make them egotistical.

That's a dumb question to ask on a forum board. My question is why are you offended?

Offended? I started to explain why I have the mods I do; then realized your only purpose was to rip on me. My mistake for falling for your troll. Nicely done sir.

I was simply responding to the comment you made about being scared of a STOCK 5.0 Mustang, which I thought that was sad coming from a cammed LS1 owner. That's all.

That's the one thing I hate about owning an expensive car. Everyone wants to talk about how much it costs, and then go on with some sob story about it. My car has nothing to do with your cam selection. It was just a question - nothing more, nothing less.

Isn't that what I just said? It is the setup, not the cam . Btw, it's the interwebz and I don't take things seriously here. I call it like I see it and your statement was ignorant, sorry . No one here takes you seriously, why would I?

He obviously MUST be taking things too seriously I guess...since he didn't agree with you. . Sheesh, these Cali guys when they're drunk
