Looks like a solid install list. I think the customer will notice a difference Keep us posted on the numbers
Yes, its going to be a nice list of things that will bring noticeable differences to the car. We will be building this car over the next several days and will update ti probably daily as the build goes together. we figured ya'll would like to see a nice build like this start to finish.
So as promised we have a daily update for you. For purchasing the items in this thread see the links posted in earlier thread or visit our site for a full line of products www.hinsonsupercars.com
Today we have added a few other goodies to the C5 Z06:
Throughout the course of the day we have installed:

McLeod Clutch and Flywheel
Pilot Bearing
Pinned the Crank

McLeod RST Clutch and Billet Steel Flywheel

HINSON Urethane Performance Engine Mounts In Yellow
Stay tuned for more. Tomorrow we will be installing all of the brackets, intercooler, putting the engine back in the car, and repairing the infamous C5 wiring harness damage we are all so familiar with.
very nice. Dumb question I see the valve train being upgraded but why no cam since you guys are down there?
We talked to the customer about several options we could provide for him and he just decided to leave the internals alone for now. Its all up to the customers preference.
So it's daily update time once again. Today at Hinson Motorsports we have put in another day of hard labor on this 03 Z06. Today was a day filled with installing:
Supercharger Brackets
Supercharger Head Unit
Kooks 1 7/8 Headers
HINSON Plug Wires
HINSON Plug Wire Heat Boots
Bellhousing
Prepping the car for the intercooler install
Re-installing the Engine
A&A Kit Bracket Install
A&A Supercharger Install
Kooks 1 7/8 Headers
HINSON Plug Wire & HINSON Heat Boots Installed - (look @ that coverage end to end)
Removed the Front Bumper for Intercooler Install
At this point the engine is back in the car and will be wired throughout the night. Tomorrow we will be installing the intercooler and getting the car prepped for the dyno session. Stay tuned as we will keep you updated on a daily basis.
What provisions are you making for crankcase breathing?
The way the kit is set up from A&A is they route the vent back into the air intake, so that's the way it was done on this build.

We did the Trunion upgrade due to the GM stock rockers being a reliable and durable rocker that will support the power we are looking to make and not fracture or break. The Trunions are a great way to add security to your valve train and make a good rocker better for not a lot of up front cost.

Daily update time.............Ya'll ready? So we have been hard at it again today with this beautiful Z06. Heres where we are with it:
Installed the torque tube and trans
Upgraded the trans mound to a HINSON TRANS MOUNT
Installed the engine back into the car
Wired and plumbed everything back in
Fixed some wiring issues we discovered
Installed the A&A Intercooler
Installed all the exhaust
All in all worked on getting the car back to one piece and ready to fire up.
So as this projects nears the end its that time............. Lets start hearing the HP predictions.
A&A Intercooler
HINSON Transmission Mount
Back In One Piece - Look at All the New Stuff
Kooks 1 7/8 Headers Off-Road Mids & X-Pipe - Makin' Sure She's Gonna Talk to Ya
Well after a great build, this beautiful Z06 is finally ready for delivery. The day we have all been waiting on is finally here. We were able to see a horsepower increase of 234.76hp and an increase in torque of 160.58 ft/lbs. With horsepower and torque increase like this you would probably expect to loose a lot of drivability. The guys at A&A were able to create a kit that allows the car to produce these kinds of number and be very mannerly until you jumped on the throttle. Once you hammer down on the gas the car starts making huge power and screams like a kid that just had a butt woopin' in Wal-Mart. Another contributing factor to the great street manners was the Mcleod RST clutch we installed in this car to take all the power. Even being a twin disc 800hp clutch it has a lighter than stock pedal feel and will take all this car can throw at it. Keeping this beast all strapped together was a set of HINSON Motorsports engine and transmission mounts. Our interlocking stainless steel design, combined with a special blend of poly urethane helps keep the engine and transmission strapped in tight to ensure better shifts and less vibration. All in all the A&A kit went on pretty smooth and is a pretty quick way to achieve some serious power increases, and still be capable of being a daily driven Corvette. We are happy to see this build come together, and have a very happy customer there to receive it. It has truly been a pleasure to work with him on his car, and thank you for your business as well as all of you that have subscribed to this thread. If you are interested in any of these parts or having us build a car for you, please visit www.hinsonmotorsports.com or give us a call 205-909-9402.
