), so don't talk to ME about wheel hop, 'cause when it comes to feeling hop, I'm the Easter Freakin' Bunny!!!!

I have to plead total naivety on this - I know on the C5 and now the C6, it hops big time. Thats why I'm wondering how that wont be a problem on the Z, (presuming stock tires stay stock)...

That's exactly what the late, great, John Lingelfelter said at a drag racing seminar I went to a few years ago.

Then that is where you will shift to max out the Torque Multiplication of the lower gear.

Ok Guys,
Until we can get some tuning software Cold air induction or slide a new cam in this car we are at some sort of a limit.
And I mean "Some Limit". This is more than we ever thought possible. We have a total of 71 miles on the car now.
REDLINE OIL's President Tim Kerrigan is the owner of this car. So there was no question that we were going to change the fluids to REDLINE. We changed the engine oil to Redline 5w-30. We changed the trans fluid to Redline D4 ATF, and the rear end got 75/90 gear lube with redline friction additive.
I then put about 2 miles on the car and pulled it back on the dyno.
(the car went to the dyno all by itself without me touching the wheel)
We gave it a cool down period and did some pulls.
The results are that we have hit a new high of:
492.2 rwhp 472.3 rwtq
The results that this new Z06 that GM has put out are nothing short of fantastic. The scary part is that it will probably get better with some proper break in miles. We did over 10 miles of dyno roller time which is usually very good break in time.
The other realization is the fact that when everyone gets LS-7 edit tuning software the bar will again be raised. how much, without going into the engine? I don't know. Of course the usual mods like cam and porting the heads, ported throttle bodies, cold air intakes etc will reap many advances.
I am looking forward to the arrival of my own Z06 so i can be a little more unforgiving with the parts we deem R & D parts. My car will be the "Mule" where we will find out what works ( I will have the cam of the week) and then we can impliment them in our customer cars.
so stay tuned.There are great cars.

Ok, I'll hush now and go back to pretending that we all keep it a mile per hour under the speed limit and never race!

I will be the first one to take credit for our headers but we all know that this car starts out with more than we all thought.
It was just waiting for someone to let it loose.
Thanks
