Wow! That's really great numbers for a C5Z.

Hey Guys. Yeah Lerox I will post my dyno numbers in a couple weeks when I get it done. There is a guy just 15 minutes outta the city that has done some amazing tunes on c5 & c6 Z06's. A guy I just met last weekend with an 07 VY Z06 got an tune ( with the shop I'm going to) with a killer bee intake and Kooks LT's, he hit 512 at the wheels. The shop uses EFI live, is that one of the best software programs to use right now?? Anyway I hope I can hit close to 380- 390. We will see. I also have a Shaner S2 TB coming any day now. My intake Lerox is just the zip-tie mod. Thinking about the vararam. My budget is kinda streched as far as it will go for this year after the headers are tuned!! JUB, I can't wait for the sound of music at WOT!!


Thanks for all the comments!!


Derek

Re: Just ordered LG Pro's today!!!

Congrats! I myself want headers but still deciding between the LG and AR headers. Leaning towards LG from what I have read online(I'm not trying to turn this into a header debate thread). Let me know how you like the fit and finish. Good luck with the numbers!

Re: Just ordered LG Pro's today!!!

EFILive is good, HPTuners is good. It's really not the software, but the guy that's doing the tuning.

512 is high for an intake and headers. I hope he is not tuning too lean.

I have LG headers on my C5 Z06 and AR headers on my C6 Z06. They are both very well made and good looking headers. I guess between the two, I would probably pick the one that I got the best deal on.

Thanks for the friendly knowledge Jub. I will ask the tuner to make sure my tune is not on the ragged edge of KABOOM.

Re: Just ordered LG Pro's today!!!

I forgot to ask, is there an ideal AFR you should be running at for a performance tune?? Ball park number maybe? Should I get him to cut into my collectors, ( weld in bungs) or use the clip ins on the tail pipes for the wideband .

Inserting the a/f sensor in a bung (before the cats) is a more acurate method of monitoring the a/f ration than the clip ons.

Re: Just ordered LG Pro's today!!!

I just got back tonight from my first official ride with my Lg's. Very impressed is all I can say. The deep bark when you whack the throttle sounds mean. Almost sounds like I replaced my stock Ti catback as well!! No leaks anywhere, everything tight and dry. Now for the power feel, even without a tune, I'm giddy like a school girl. Part throttle doesn't feel quite as razor sharp but I'm sure after a tune it will be fine. Not a big deal. At WOT.. WOW is all I can say. The Z06 is starting to feel mildly violent. I like it, I like it a lot!!! Night and day from before the headers that's for sure!! Almost feels like I have more gear in the back!! A huge kick!! Unfortuantely I have to wait till August 22 for a dyno tune.

Cheers all

Derek
