    Tech Article: Run Flat Facts

    The reason that the Z06 does not come with run-craps is performance & handling. The run-craps are noisy, and do not offer the performance in dry & wet traction that a non-runflat offers. I got Michelin Pilot Sports and now carry a plug kit, small compressor and AAA card just in case. Ever hear...

    Hot Spot in Center Console

    It's pretty normal in a C5. The cats are below the center console. I installed a Koolmat heat shield under the tunnel cover and used Reflectix to insulate under the console

    Tires

    Stock tire size on the stock wheel size. You can get Z06 wheel sizes in 17 x 9.5 or 18 x 9.5 front and 18 x 10.5 rear and then go with 275 x 40 x 17 or 275 x 35 x 18 front and 295 x 30 x 18 rears. I switched my run-craps to 18's with Michelin Pilot Sports. Much quieter and better wet & dry...

    9" and 18" wheels - tire sizes

    I run 18 x 9 1/2 up front with 265x35x18 and 18 x 10 1/2 in the rears with 295x35x18. You should be able to run 19 x 10 1/2 rears with 295x30x19. Doubt that any runflats come in those sizes.

    Oil Changes

    I changed the oil after 1,000 miles break-in period when my car was new. Now I change with Mobil 1 every 5,000 miles, the same time I change my S/C synthetic oil.

    Performance Package Question??????

    I do not feel that the Z51 suspension is really harsh. My 02 vert started life with the FE1 base suspension. I was not really happy with the body roll so I installed Z06 sway bars. This took care of the body roll but the car still felt floaty at high speeds. My 2nd round mods included Z51...

    Teflon Paint Protector?

    This is a dealer profit margin scam for a $50 wax job. Try Zaino, the shine and protection are outstanding.

    Polished Aluminum Wheels

    The OEM polished wheels are clear coated. Chrome polish will scratch them. I just use car wash and then Zaino.

    Pros and cons of supercharging.

    Fun Fun Fun.. For a more reliable S/C look into the Magnuson roots style blower. It offers better low end torque than the centrificals but you will have to replace the hood. The centrificals offer higher RWHP potential at the risk of reliability. You will start breaking stock engine and...

    improving handling on 02 vert

    I also have an 02 vert that started life with the base (FE1) suspension. I first changed the to Z06 sway bars which greatly reduced body roll but did not address the floaty feeling. The 2nd round I changed to used Z51 springs, added Bilstein Sport Shocks, and lowered approx 1". This greatly...
