I am in the market for a C6z, and would most likely get an 08+, I would use the car for mainly street and daily it. I know about the valve dropping issues that the LS7 has. The idea would be to get a stealth car that appears and sounds like a bolt on car that has good power. So I do not really get a cam, or pick a cam that has NO lope and any LS head wont be able to tell if the car has a cam. So basically get a full bolt on car with ported and milled heads, so how much power would a full bolt on/milled heads car put down?

490-500 rwhp with a good tune. By bolt-ons, you including full exhaust?

i have a 08 and with vararam intake ported polished stock TB and FAST manifold with kooks catted headers stock axle back and IPS stage 2 head work no milling heads were done when i bought the car i put down 490rwh 485rwtg on a mustang dyno car ran 2 consistant 158 mph passes in the chicago half mile event this summer which is what the cammed cars were doing have not had it to the 1/4 yet hopefully friday expecting 10.8-11.0s at 130mph

Yes, full bolt ons.

Very good, how much power do you think you are able to squeeze out with milling the heads on the car?

ian08

generally they say about 20hp i think i planned to pull the heads mill them this winter flow them and check them over and do a cam we will see if i get around to it

We can get you taken care of. Give us a call when you get a car and stop by the shop.

I just had my heads reworked with ferrea hollow stem valves in my 08, I did .030 milled heads, did LG 1 3/4 headers, Haltech KillerBee intake, PSI springs and a tune.
The car did 525Rwhp and 480RWTQ on a very hot and humid day. So seems like a good combination if you are keeping stock cam. I feel like the milled heads were probably good for 20-25hp.

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.

this seems pretty stock sounding to me considering it is cammed and making 560 whp.


and whats the point of trying to have a "sleeper" Z06? why not just throw a ECS kit and leave the stock manifolds/exhaust? most that I heard are pretty quite and obviously a lot more powerful than most head+exhaust Z06s trying to make miracles to happen. Either the person you are going to run will run regardless of how your car sounds.

Darin Morgan ported heads, milled about .030. I have Fast w/102TB, Longtubes with cats, Akro axle back, Halltech CAI, ATI balancer. Stock Cam

Car made 507hp/490tq on a conservative dynojet. (Prior to tuning, I had same setup on another dyno, made 499rwhp. First pull on the dyno I tuned on it with numbers above it was 484rwhp) Figure that 15 HP difference and that puts it right with the guy above with similar setup.

But figure 500-530 rwhp dyno and tune dependent. Every Dyno and day is a little different. Hard to realistically compare numbers

Contact Carlos at vette air. I am sure he can get you into the 550+ range with some nice head work and high compression + e85 and full boltons. He is by far your best shot on the forums...

Thats more of what I am looking for. I think with that cam it can be tuned so it doesnt lope any more than a stock cam.
