No, he meant what he said. A 600whp NA Z06 will beat a 650-700whp SC Z06 driver for driver. These pare peak numbers (same dyno), where the SC graph makes more power everywhere. Real world results vs. just math. Clearly there is a way to model this mathematically (transient response, etc.), but it doesn’t change the outcome.

No, 1-7/8". Not sure why the dip on mine was so exaggerated. I overlayed my tuner's graph and his had the dip but it wasn't nearly as big. He runs ARH 2" headers, LME heads, and the B3 cam.
Thing throbs w/ a sweet idle.

Not enough spring pressure and heavy exhaust valves. I was under the assumption that I had purchased my heads with hollow stem Ferrea valves and that ended up not being the case. Totally my fault for not verifying.
Thank you, that's correct. I believe it happened at the track not too long ago. During the burnout it felt like it hit the rev limiter (but i was no were near it) and the motor stumbled and shut off.

Yup, oh well. Next time I will go with someone else.

Thanks man, I thought they were hush-hush?
TI valves? I have close to the same setup except 2” ARH and self ported MSD. Of course my car was on a conservative tune and there are a few things needing to be addressed anyway. SAE 572/492. That is sick power you have though. If my heads come off compression with be bumped 12 to 1 and a few other changes as well.
I understand that, that is how I feel about my car. Make 6 and just drive the thing
. Not a fan of nitrous but recently have been considering that “gap insurance.” Haha.
High lift and more compression will come next year. I just want the car running. It's been a long few months where the car wasn't running correctly or hasn't been running at all. Got brand new tires on the back that I don't want to get flat spots from sitting.
If it doesn't make the power I want, it's a good thing I'll have 150 extra horses of gap insurance on top.

I owned this cam before, which means that I can do what I want with the specs. I think that it is BS that companies withhold cam numbers because they ultimately have to share them with the owner so the cam can be installed. It is a decent cam but there are better options IMO. I will never buy a cam again when I don't know the specs first.

Wes's C5Z is built right... He knows every inch of that car and how to drive. Its a mad fast car! I am not sure why he hasn't picked up one of the MSD intakes, have Luke port it and Carlos retune. Its not like you don't have the capital. Pretty much everyone in our group is running the MSD on our C6Z's and we have ALL benefited from it. Its proven HP/TQ.
Wes's bank account is still recovering from his recent mods... I'm sure he'll pick one up at some point.

Its a no brainer... Wes and I use the same tuner.. Currently my stock injectors are maxed out... I am picking up some 85lb'ers pretty soon. Carlos told me he could squeeze a few more ponies out of mine.

Second, MSD requires me to cut the cowl on my my car, between that and all the loosening bolt threads and a small pickup, I don't know that I really want to mess with an MSD. I know it'll pick up but I don't know that I believe it'll pick up 20 wheel over my setup. Probably closer to about 10 or 12 and that's not really worth $1,000 to me. I think I'd gain more out of the 1 7/8 headers.

It's taking a year to convince me that the 1 7/8 headers won't hurt my torque, but if they do I'll pull them off and sell them and go back to my 1 3/4

The horsepower I don't so much care about, I'm more care about the torque curve and my torque curve is very broad very flat, it's 400-plus at 2000 RPM and it's still over 500 at 6200 RPM and the torque is what's making the car so quick so I'm really hesitant to mess with anything.
