I did get the overlays. As far as I know, the block is at the machine shop getting machined/sleeves installed, etc. and should be ready for assembly within the next week I believe. Everything should be completed and the Z running by May 1. Probably go with an everyday tune for around 500 rwhp and 500 rwtq and a race tune for around 600 rwhp and 600 rwtq. Although the block could take more since its sleeved, I think these tunes will work for a while. I can't wait to put 3 bus lengths on the new Z06

Yeah, decided to do some minor changes However, I did't get the oversized valves or go too crazy on the cam selection.

You'll have to let me know what kind of view you have from 8 cars back

In all seriousness though, without sleeves I think your 650 rwhp may be achieved on the dyno, but don't plan on that engine staying together for very long on the street. I may be wrong though.

The open deck design of the VQ is going to have the cylinders wobbling under high psi and your heads are going to come off the car because the wobble may break the seal between the block and heads. The reason I ended up going with sleeves is because the only Z's running really big power have the sleeves and haven't had the head lift problem that the non-sleeved engines are having. The sleeves close the deck and provide more surface area to seal the block and heads. Also, you should plan on getting a very strong clutch because the stocker isn't going to last for more than a few dyno pulls. It will be toast before your car can get on the road. My stock clutch went on 404 rwhp.

Also, rwhp doesn't always dictate speed or quickness and power curve means a whole lot. (ie.) last summer when my car was putting down 445 rwhp I spanked a friends STI by like 5 cars and it was putting down 510 awhp at the time. The turbo he had on his STI was simply too big and while it was spending its time spooling up, I was under full boost pulling away You might wanna think about thowing a 50 shot in it to avoid the slow spool of those larger turbos.

Now come get your whoooopin.





Relaz relax, I'm just trying to get some life back into this section.

Lol I need two more weeks till I get the car back, and then have to put a 1000 miles on the motor before I can beat on it.... My car should be set my the end of april.

zlessnomore

I took the Z out today and noticed the final drive leaking and it looks like the front seal so it is going back to Dick Scott for a drip problem.
The gas line recall seems to be a good one as the car fills up and takes more gas than before and no slow fill either.

zlessnomore

Red Line meet is end of April first of May at Stoney Creek, or at least it has been for the past two years! That would be a great place and time to hook us all up!

Xceed BBQ meet you mean

clarifying cuz Redline and Xceed are NOT the the same thing at all... reasons... a) Redline motorsports NEVER race their cars... b) Xceed people is not even a club or group... just a online site where people chat

Xceed > Redline haha

Sorry Gerry... just **** about people mixing Redline with real racers...

But the Xceedspeed BBQ will be amazing this year! Good cars for sure!

zlessnomore

Than you know what I mean and I think you are right! For sure a lot of them are going to be some HOTZ'S

Shawn You know how those guys is they are VERY SLOW. it has been three weeks and my motor just went to the machine shop friday, well he was taking it apart I dont know if it went out. They are really starting to test my patentice. he said in two weeks the car will be done completely.... then I need to break in the new motor.

zlessnomore

Who is doing the work on the engine for you? and what are you getting done?
