Wow, beautifully built car. Hey Hib, can you write up a review of the car and post it up here on the forum? I'm sure Jason wouldn't mind.:thumbs:

Nice build....simple and puts down some good power. :cheers::cheers:

1 of 12 Z06s in that color, nice! Can't be more than a handful of Z07s in that color as well.

Nice build. Just bough the 116 cam from Jason for my build, have the same pistons and bottom end and heads done the same with dual springs. No MSD though, dyno tomorrow with Patrick at Quality Motorsports, would be nice to get close to this much power out of mine?
Same clutch in mine too. I approve :smash: Steve |

Jason, please correct me if I've misstated anything above. :cheers: Also, since most of Katech's C6Z builds utilize Fast intake manifolds, OE TB's, and Halltech CAI's...were you averse to utilizing Hib's MSD/NW/Mamba setup that was preexisting on the car? |
Thanks I appreciate it..for all the input I am using Che guides in this heads and cam build
|
Jason, is this with OEM exhaust manifolds and cats? I believe Hib has been committed to the factory exhaust to comply with California emissions requirements. That Mamba CAI looks badazz!

Nice ride!

I just discovered this thread sort of by accident. I'd like to answer a few questions about "Katech ZO6 SN 097" aka the "Blue Bullet".

1LZ, base equipment package ZO7, ultimate performance package B92, carbon fiber hood Only one car was built with those two options along with: PBC, engine build experience VEB, aluminum pedal covers That car is the Blue Bullet.

There's an interesting story about those heads. The set I put on that engine during the Engine Build Experience at the old PBC in Wixom, MI, were eventually replaced under warranty because of a problem with lack of concentricity of the guides and seats. After the warranty work, that set of heads were returned to GM. At the time, I was in the middle of writing a series of articles for Corvette Magazine along with another Corvette web site which covered the development of the LS7 engine as well as the guide wear problem. In the process of writing those articles, I was able to convince GM to share the testing and fault diagnosis information it gained about the car's original set of heads using one of the CMMs in the Inspection Department at GM's Global Propulsion Systems HQ in Pontiac MI. After GM was done with that, it was kind enough to send me back the disassembled heads. I appreciated the gesture because LS7 heads are serilized and their numbers are on the "build sheet" that went with the engine which I assembled at the Performance Build Center in 2012. To speed up the process at Katech, rather than having them ship the heads on the engine–the set of warranty replacement parts–to West Coast Cylinder Heads for them modify to Katech Street Attack specs, then have WCCH ship them back to Michigan for Katech to install; I took the original bare heads to WCCH myself. They CNC-ported them and installed CHE guides then shipped the heads to Katech where they were fitted with Ti-Mo intakes, stock exhausts from my supply of valves and PSI springs. That saved about two weeks of shipping time. Bottom line, my Katech Street Attack now has the set of heads which I originally put on the engine at the Performance Build Center back in 2012.

To date, I've kept the exhaust system aft of the converters stock. Eventually, I'm going to have CF member "Josh B" modify my production '12/'13 mufflers for increased flow. |
So that intake fits a Z07 car. Nice to know.
