I'm thinking between 8 and 9 pounds. I had the LS1 pulley set on it with the S-trim so it was blowing 7.5 lbs. in that configuration. The tune is the most important factor with a fi engine. Phil @ Dynotech is a master with force feeding these cars. I'll be getting the stock heads back so...

Hey, another Vortech guy! Mine's in the shop now getting a T-trim upgrade. Also going for a set of duel spring AFR heads and a lower CR. More boost on the way!! Post some pics, I'd love to see it! If you have any problems with it, let me know. I've been through most of the pit falls of the...

Should be in the next three or four weeks. They'll dyno tune it, and get a final set of numbers when it's all dialed in. It made 606/502 after the cam with the S-trim. The more efficient T-trim should help torque down low. The cr will end up being < 10-1 with the new heads so they can up the...

My Z is currently in the shop getting some work done. I'm going with a set of AFR heads, so I'll have my stock LS6 heads for sale pretty soon. Looking for offers or at least ideas of what they're worth. They're as new with 5,000 miles on 'em.

My wife keeps asking me, "How fast does it need to go?" I tell her, "If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand." ;) BTW: My Z is torn down currently @ "Dynotech" getting AFR heads, T-trim blower upgrade and a few other goodies. Looking for 650 + at the wheels. Enough..... there ain't no...

I was gonna jump on here and say, "WTF, who cares!";) But when the wife gives you a "Go for it," you can at least tell her how much junk she can bring along for the ride. Congrats on the Z, you're in the BIG leagues now!! BTW: Time to come up with something nice for "The Better Half"!!;worship

Rob, The last thing I'd ever do is be smooch a--, but I think you handled the situation the only way you could. If you hope to stay in GMs info loop, you have to abide by their wishes. We don't, but you do. If one of us says or does something that the powers-that-be at GM find offensive...

I'm torn. I've put a bunch of money into my current Z. I like the new one, but I'll have to see one in the flesh, sitting next to my car, before I'd make a decision. In any event, I wouldn't buy a '06. The LS7 will be a pretty sophisticated, new engine for GM. Remember the problems with the...

Me too. I bought an '01 Z, and you see what I have now. The LS7 will be a very sophisticated engine. Remember the problems with the first LS6s? I'll let the first year models get the bugs worked out and see where we stand. It's tough to resist though, after seeing the car.

If you're right, they'll sell 'em as fast as they can build 'em. I've heard several dealers say they expect the MSRP to be close to what a fully optioned vert will be. I don't think you'll see many discounts the first year though, unless they price it way to high to begin with.

The first thing I noticed when I saw the new '06 Z seats is that GM didn't put holes in them for harnesses AGAIN! You would think that a Vette with the track pedigree of this one would be set up to just bolt harnesses in. I wrap mine around the seats in my C5 Z, but I thought GM would get it...

Cool Rob! I personally like the EB Z in the avatar better anyway! Obviously an individual of unquestioned taste and refinement. I bet it's faster too!;) Hey, who's that knocking on my door? Honey, turn off the lights and hide the kids!! ;LOL

Hey! Who they call'n a fanatic? I have other interests! I don't LIVE in front of my puter. Now where did I sit my coffee and eye drops? :D (Notice the Avatar on the bottom picture. I erased the cars just for you Rob.;) ) BTW: All you guys who doubted the voracity of my man Paul...

I was gonna say the same thing! Very sharp. I still miss my C4, if It'd been a LT4, I might have kept it. Yes, a car can change the way you see the world. Nothing like the view from behind a couple of front fender humps!! Save the Wave!! My old '96 CE Vert:

...Sorry, bad link. Here's what it looks like: Battery Tender Plus The Battery Tender Plus is a 1.25 amp battery charger designed to fully charge a battery and maintain it at proper storage voltage without the damaging effects caused by trickle chargers. Includes a quick connect harness for...

Couldn't hurt to change the oil. I did mine at 500 miles just to be sure. The synthetic doesn't require it, but who's to say you don't have some microscopic metal shavings from the engine being machined. Like I said, couldn't hurt. A quality car cover will keep your paint clean, a good...

Whats too much mean? I haven't figured that out yet. (just ask my wife) Hey, that's what credit is for!!:naughty:

Gotta love those fuzzy dice!! (good for two tenths in the quarter!);)

I'm no novice Ken. I've been a member over on Z06Vette.com since the beginning. This is my second Z, which is extensively modified (Including a Bassani off-road X-pipe). I'm telling you there is no more than 5rwhp and 5rwtq to be gained on a Z06 with the X-pipe only. You're correct about...

Congrats Kevin!!:beer You're in the big leagues now. So, let's talk mods...:D
