Z06 Heads / Cam info
Hello,
I have decided not to put a nitrous system on my corvette. If anyone has any info on the stock Z06 heads and cam, I would apprreciate the info. I'm serious thinking about changing my C-5 heads and cam for the stock Z06 heads and cam. I already have the LS6 intake so why not complete it with the Z06 heads and cam? If anyone can help me along with any computer changes needed, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.
Bob :cheers:

I've looked at this option as well. If you decide to pull the trigger and do the Z06 H/C package please keep us posted on the cost and your feelings of the added performance.

Hello Mark,
I'm still kicking this Z06 H/C idea around. If I do go through with it, I wil get back to you and let you know what I think about the change.

Bob,
I would sure like to know what you decide and how it turns out if you choose to upgrade the heads, cam, etc.
Keep us informed.

Re: Z06 Heads / Cam info (REBEL03)
Bob - If you read the thread just above yours about one fellows disaster with an aftermarket head(Patriots) with a car as expensive as a C5, one becomes motivated to stay with factory parts. I have a '03 C5 M6 and am just about out of bolt on options. I want to keep the daily driver smoothness and reliability, but with the extra HP available in that margin between stock and a "noticeably altered" drivetrain. The LS6 heads and GM "hot cam" should be worth some power, without sacrificing driveability. I am sincerely interested to know how your search turns out....

Re: Z06 Heads / Cam info (Heretic)
If your going stock Z06 heads and cam..maybe waiting until the AFR heads hit could be a boon to you.
As there is no core charge I'd imagine 700 to 900 for a set of Z06 heads and cam will be available soon after the Z06 owners start switching over to AFR heads?
just a though.

Re: Z06 Heads / Cam info (JerriVette)
Why not get the GMPP LS6 cnc'd heads and one of the aftermarket sleeper cams. The heads will only be about $200 more for the pair, than what the stock ones will cost and the cam will be around $200 more than the stock GM LS6 cam. You'll still have good reliability and drivability, with better performance than an LS6 upgrade package. :cheers:
