Default Hi C5 guys

Hey guys, picked up a 39k mileage 2001 Z06 about a week ago, bone stock, no mods, never molested, that sat in a garage for 7 years, car was immaculate and well maintained, all original pieces still in the car which is impressive, anyways I have a few things to poke your brains with.

I have purchased a cam kit and a set of Long tubes, but I am curious to know if anyone has ran these headers on c5 z06, https://www.texas-speed.com/p-4149-t...xtensions.aspx

Cam I went with was a Torquer v2 112 LSA, I've had one before, loved the cam performed well and adds quite an aggressive idle.

If you have ran those headers, what sort of power? I know the 01's have the pup cats,

Welcome to the forum. There are many members here who run Texas Speed headers, I'm sure someone will be along shortly.

Welcome to the Forum, Patrick!
I'm running Kooks so no experience with the TSP headers, but as Shakey said someone with these headers will give you input.

I installed a set of TSP headers the first winter after buying my 04Z. Definitely notice the power increase, but I didn't do a dyno so can't give you numbers.
Do you already have them? Check the flanges with a straight edge. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
