The GM "fix" to the overheating situation was the ZR1 with its extra coolers and butt ugly front snout. There are aftermarket vendors that make conversion kits to cut the front end and add coolers to help but that fix is expensive. Best solution is to either not track the car or short shift it...

My 19/20 aftermarket rims I used on my C6Z and a set of ZR1 wheels I used on my C6Z both fit my C7Z without problem.

Rob, This post is in an endless loop. Your link goes to a link that comes back here.

Unfortunately I can not give you the actual tsb, but it is avaiable to your dealer. It is covered under warranty. I had my seat rails replaced last year this time. I have noticed that 3,000 miles and 11 months later it is again starting to rock. It is a nylon washer in the seat rail that...

Although you will not likely find this helpful, remember the famous old saying....."it is not a SBC if it doesn't leak at both ends." I certainly have found that true on my SBCs, my LT1s, my LS1s and my LS2s. Haven't gotten there on the LS7 yet but then again it only has 6800 miles on it and...

The 1800 mile drive back to the Left Coast was a nice bonding experience for both the car and I. It is actually quite a comfortable long distance driver. I did buy a case of water and a load of cheap wash cloths at a Wal Mart in West Tx and stopped every hour to clean the bugs off the front...

A degree of negative camber is wonderful for handling at the limit as the outside loaded tire stands up straight and gets all of its tread on the road. The unloaded tire has less of its tread on the ground but than again it is unloaded so who cares. That is the sole reason for negative camber...

That was my ultimate decision. I flew to Austin from San Diego yesterday, did the deal and am on a Austin/Houston/San Diego trip to get it home. It will add 50% of its current mileage but given it doesn't have many to begin with I see that more as a fun thing than a bad thing. And maybe by...

I would be interested in hearing your horror story on the shipping. I am about to buy a Z06 across country and am debating to fly and drive or to ship. Perry

I would think not. As it logs Hp/Tq and fuel air mixture it is somewhat useful as a diagnostic tool, but with a stock setup a tune is of little value. I think the money would be better spent on a scanning tool (either computer based or standalone) that will help you keep your car in tip top...

This is the 40th Anniversary package: Non stock wheels by Fikse, exhaust tips by BnB. Perry

While a Tech 1 would be the cats meow, I think you need to do a bit more than read codes. An older OBD1 scanner will read codes, clear codes and most important log a number of engine and body functions. Actron would work. Also Auto XRay (I have the 5000) but these don't seem to be...

The important point is your TTD at your event today. Congratulations. Racing of any kind is the real test. Dynos are simply for bragging rights or the occasional diagnostic or tuning help.

My experience is that these chips are a "racket" providing only illusory gains. There might be some 1-2 hp gains from turning the fans on a bit earlier if the chip controls the fan (don't know as far back as 85) but none of them seem to touch any of the major tuning tables.

Any time you change these shocks you need to be sure the top mounted FX3 electric pickup is clean and remounted absolutely correctly using the stock retainer clips. If you are not very careful and clean you will get the dash light. Hopefully the problem is the front shocks where it is very...
