Thanks for the replies, guys.

A few things:

1. retainers, springs, etc. are all from package
2. we're going to hook up the Tech 2 next week to check LFT's, etc.
3. I still want to spray, so I'm thinking keeping the TR6 plugs might be best

I think the injector swap sounds like a cost efficient check - hopefully I'll know more by next week.

Thanks, again.

I agree with Johnny, replacing the bolt ons will net negligable results. I just did a H/C package and dynoed a little low. I have had issues with the coil packs in the past so we are replacing them along with the fuel filter. Your fuel pump should be fine (not sure how it works if on the bottle). I would also replace the injectors if you have 26#, what ever way you go with injectors, I would not recomend taking the duty cycle past 80%. I replaced my 28# with 30#. Hope all works out well for you.

Hi Mike, I'm the old guy that was at Thunder with the Black SS. Sorry about the problem but if you need some Z06 injectors, the guy that was talking to Z06cam has a Z06, that he just put a Magnuson blower on, that wants to sell his stock injectors. If you want these let me know. Call me at 225-261-7949 Jimmy

Jimmy-

Thanks for the support. Funny, I don't remember talking to any "old guys." ;)

I'm bringing my car to Sewell on Tuesday. Should have an update by then.
