Bottom link doesn't work...Need to get rid of the "]" at the end of the URL.

Thanks... did some baseline tuning tonight to get it more drivable... in the above video I had finessed it into idling, but once driving it'd die at every light when the revs would drop.

Tonight we got it to where it'd start and idle fine and hold an idle at lights... still needs tweaking, and will get the fully dynotune on the 3rd

Brian, are you using HP Tuners or EFI's tuning system ?

Cobra4B

We used HP Tuners last night... tired using a baseline tune from a similar car w/ a 228/232 cam (mine is 232/240) and other mods first, but that was no help.

So... Mike (has a '04 Z06 w/ AFR 205's and a G5-X1e cam) basically copied his startup and idle settings and the car ran fine.

I'm having Jeff Creech from CAM (in raleigh) do the real dynotune at Abacus Racing here in Va Beach on the 3rd.

Cobra4B - Is the rear of Z06 painted or is that a plastic type shroud??

Cobra4B

^ Painted and cleared

Bink

Thanks!
Your Vette will howl with those Stingers. Careful about the police.

Cobra4B

^ Yeah it's very loud... my neighboor's a cop... wonder if she'll like it

Cobra4B

The car made 429 rwhp at one point... but at the expense of some torque... the final numbers came in at 424/378.... I'm complely satisfied.

7000 rpms through kooks and corsas sounds incredible (removed the stingers). However the car made peak power at about 6600.

Falcon

That's some nice power. You going to leave the rev limit at 7 grand?

Cobra4B

^ Yes... but shift at 6200ish on track.
