Heads up to the one "poster", running AC makes your car run hot. Running the heat pulls some of the dynamic heat off of the block and keeps it "cooler". I'm an old school street racer with a small budget which forces you to learn certain tricks.
Also, for all the haters that think you can just put this thing on a lift and shit the transmission out the back in 20 minutes without having any prior knowledge about Corvettes, you can dream on. It takes hours, and you might as well put some C6 bushings to lower the rear and C6Z half-shafts, cause those are going to be the next things to break when you start making power.
Temps was the only thing that pissed me off when I transitioned from a Camaro SS to a C5 Z06. The Vette get's so fucking hot when you let it sit still, it's within operating parameters but still, my Camaro never moved from 180. Whether I was on the highway or in traffic for four hours, that was with the stock LS1 radiator and a L92 402" in the car.
@Jutzujin Try the 160 or 180 thermo. My 160 runs cool all day long, as before it would climb so high you thought it was going to smoke ribs, not to mention the performance was shot to Hell.
The stock clutch slips when hot, C5Z's are very VERY underrated in terms of power.. I suggest upgrading to the C6 Z06 clutch, after that the problem for my 15k mile car was fixed.. Then again this only happened when the car was hot, also get a 160 degree thermostat and if you let the car sit still, turn on the air conditioning, it keeps the car cooler.
he could be dragging the clutch to prevent wheel spin on shifts, I know my z06 will spin pretty much every time I bang a gear hard. Its also possible his clutch is just worn out and this is unintentional slippage.. it does seem to drag a bit long for a power shift.
I guess everyone likes one brand over another and my sound choice would be bassani. I think they sound killer on the mustangs and other LS cars. I think they have a nice lump sound on low rpm and sound mean top end. Sweet Vette and thanks for posting.
the tips came on the catback trying to decide between borla bassani and flowmaster... i love the sound of the flowmasters the most but i love the look of the bassani tipss if those are the ones that come on the catback
i would drive it even if it had............ blue tail lights with friggin......... pink polka dots and shit for a turn signal. i mean, who cares? You can turn fast enough to get out of the way before they even get close. XD
Did anything change between 02' to 04' with the Z06? In "performance" ? I heard of something with "magnetic damping control" from the 03+, is that true?
Superchargers match to engine easier , don't need to much change and have smooth power.but with Turbos you get more power,in some ways better MPG and power kick.
you don't get better power...superchargers make power down low and stay steady...turbo has wayyyy to much lag, and you have to wait for the power, supercharger is the way to go i've owned both
yes but the new turbos don't have that kind of lag , the smaller turbos have no turbo lag at all but biggers still have old problem and some people really like turbo lag with a big kick.
@treyofour Depends on the supercharger. A centrifugal blower doesn't make much power down low, a roots/screw blower makes lots of power down low. And I agree with HeroCna about the lag, really depends on the size of the turbo with respect to the engine.
turbo is better. superchargers can cause permanent damage from long term use. they run off belts taking hp from your car to make power. where turbos operate from your exhaust. turbos are by far more efficient, and dont make that annoying ass whining noise.
How do they cause damage from long term use? Im a Detroit tech, and I have never heard of the blower/superchargers cause damage lol. If anything a turbo will cause more engine harm. And as far as taking up HP the end result is you still having more HP than the engine running N/A, but im not biased toward either type of charger....
cars have developed more crankwalk, they put too much stress of the belt system and can fuck up some of your pulleys. like a hermonic balancer among others. turbos run from your exhaust, witch then get compressed into a turbine. turbines are much healthier, they arent always in use, because if you are too low in rpms you are still in vacuum.
Bassani makes a really nice aftercat system. I love the way it looks and sounds! I wonder if it weighs more than the titanium system the Z06 comes with?
Apparently you think your M3 is faster than an M6 then. I have a Z06, stock motor w/ headers and a high flow cats, without using my 100hp Edelbrock Nitrous my buddies M6 still falls behind, let alone if I touch the bottle.
CAT converters are evil! Walk behind a old 50s car, smells like gasoline. Walk behind some new thing with the new cat converters. Smells like superglue or something. WTF?
Not sure why people are bashing the sound so much. It's not my favorite vette Exhaust note (Borla Stingers or B&B Bullets), but I still think it sounds good. Looks great too.
That fucker hit way past 60 before you could even click your mouse. Welcome to America's flagship sports car. If you don't understand, you're ignorant and we'll laugh at you.
I will clarify my comment: in reference to CBRuREDe- he didn't like the sound- I think he's a kid that is clueless ($50 says he owns a 600). I do not like Chevys, but this thing sounds amazing.
Everyone told me not to put an x pipe on a 5.0 i bought a bassani x pipe and cat and sob!!! sound no diff then an svt cobra, bassani is always the way to go
