CamZilla is Back!!

Now that the CamZilla is back together, and is pretty close to her final street setup (for now) - I figured it was time to post a little something-something that demonstrates she still has the bite to back up her bark.

The open pipes were just too loud for regular street use (Harley Davidson slashpipe loud) so we have installed the Borla XR-1 X-Pipe Resonator to match the Borla XR-1 straight tail pipes.

Enjoy.

hi, i'm loving this corvette. i have a question though. you responded to someone else on here that the motor is an ls7, is that the motor from the new c6 z06? if so i'm very impressed with what you've done to the car. It sounds insanely awesome.

@bllbng21 - yes, the car was retrofitted with a forged LS7 in 2007.

can you give me a few details about the engine?...... cam, heads ?

[RCFourFive]

@MrMurphy1025 LS7 block, Callies Dragon Slayer crank, Manley rods, Wiseco LS7 pistons, LS7 valves, ported LS7 heads, LS7 intake, 103mm MAF, 100mm throttle body, Katech World Challenge cam (580rwhp) or custom .700 lift cam (600rwhp), DeWitts radiator and DeWitts oil cooler, Turn One Power Steering pump, Kooks 1 78" long tube headers, Kooks 3" mid pipes, no cats and either 3' straight pipe or stock C5 Titanium mufflers. Custom tuning and a ton of money ... none of which will be recouped LOL ;)

@RCFourFive I'm building (actually, I'm having someone build it for me) a 2K C5 Vert. I think I sinking WAY too much money into it, but I've seen my builders past cars and ultimately it'll be worth it. If you had to estimate how much you've spent on this build, what would it be (not including the car)? I heard other people's similar build costs and I'm just trying to judge my "deal".

[RCFourFive]

@07STi8U its a lot and get's expensive quick. The build has really stretched from 2005 till now. At the time C6 Z06's where still quite pricey. If I had to do it all again, I would start with a used C6 Z06 for $35,000 or so and just do cam, headers, seats, suspension, wheels, tyres and brakes.

My C5Z06 has about $45,000 to $50,000 in it excluding the original purchase in 2002. I would be lucky to be able to sell it for $25K now. ;)

You need to do it for love, not profit hehe.

Texas.. There are other states?

Sick ass car dude! God I wish I had the money it takes to get that new of a vette and do that kind of upgrades to it! How did you get those progress monitors on the screen? They seem too accurate to be just added in later for looks. And don't the grand sports have 2 stripes instead of three? I didn't know if you were just trying to be different or not.

pfff this thing goes in my top 3 best sounds in my life....
