Bought: Jan, 2008
Here's my first vette, a 2002 electron blue Z06. I had a 427 rear-wheel HP '99 Trans Am that I sold in January '08 and picked this up. The Z06 puts down around 355 RWHP stock but it's so much lighter and geared better that it feels just as fast as my T/A did. I love the color since you don't see it very often (only offered in 2002 and 2003).
Spring '08 - Just got my chrome speedlines put on!!
Summer '08 - just ran the 1/4 for the first time in this car and my first trip down the track ran a 12.77 @ 115 with a 2.14 60'. I w as spinning off the line, on the 1-2 shift and even the 2-3 shift as well. I need some drag radials and some better track prep, my
7-yr old stock Goodyears just weren't cutting it! Oh and the DA was 4500 so the weather could've been better!
Winter '08 - Bought some FLP 1 3/4" LT's and an off-road X-pipe. Car is a little throatier now.
Spring '09 - Just bit the bullet and bought some AFR 2 05cc heads and a custom spec cam specifically for this combo...it's a 231/235 .617/.621 113+4 on LSL lobes. Also an underdrive pulley will be going on at the same time. Can't wait to get this stuff intalled in April and hopefully some dyno/track numbers in May! The goal is 450RWHP and 400+ RWTQ on the stock LS6 intake and ported throttle body.
6/14/09 - HEADS/CAM INSTALL HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!
Friend using his SLR camera:
Pics of the AFR 205cc heads...can't wait to install these! Custom spec cam that will be going with them is a 231/235 .617"/.621" 113+4.
1/12/09 FLP Longtubes to an ARK X-pipe are installed. Had to fab up the pipes from the cat-delete tubes back to the X pipe.
Here's my new lloyd's floor mats, they give the interior a nice touch over the stock worn out mats.
Desired mods after the H/C setup is done:
Fast 92/92 intake and throttle body setup, better clutch, hardened output shaft, differential brace.
And even further down the road (if I can ever afford it): Forged 402 shortblock and ATI procharger

nice car man, i cant wait to do a H/C swap on mine. ya, the air down here is thicker, but its also horribly humid, and usually in the 80s and 90s. my posted time was my best run with good conditions, of course. the tires were key to a good 60', i was running those wide ass c6z wheels with PS2s. hooks up almost all the way. did you have a vararam on your first run? no lie that thing gave me about 3mph at the top of 3rd.
