Guest azz061 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Had a new built Rpm stage 3 differential with all harden shafts and 3.73 gears installed. The gears have really awaken the beast the lies within. I highly encourage this as a mod to your car if looking for some seat of the pants difference.The 6th gear in the car now actually feels like 5th did and no lag with throttle response for power! Tires however do spin alot easier in 1st without effort!Well car now has entire new drive train and if it does not sell so i can buy Drews old Car thats for sale again we are looking at motor upgrade and a power adder on top of the nos system.Great thanks to Mike for installing the diff and Jason for dealing with all the BS since Rpm said they shipped the diff 2 weeks ago and we come to find out it never shipped!Well time to enjoy her now and get ready for the cruises coming up!

Big Poppa Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I second the motion on gears. I did 4.10's in mine, which should come out in the ballpark of a Z06 with 3.73's, and I don't regret it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I still don't understand putting all the money in a car like this just to sell it. She's a beast...why sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest azz061 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I put the money in with the intent to keep her. But a deal comes along and you know the American way. My car is 100% solid and to be honest i really don't need anymore power. The car can run 10's in the 1/4 so i achieved my goal for the car. The gears were something i wanted to always do and now i know that everycar will get them from now on.And for selling the market is soft and unless i find a person with cash the odds of selling now are 10% at best. But my car has achieved it's limits without yanking the motor and investing 7k for the next level. I am always looking for another car built at a bargain price vs pulling my motor. My engine is strong and all new except the crank and pistons which meet factory tolerances for everything so i basically have a brand new 2003 Z06.As someone said Bigger,Faster and stronger.

Guest azz061 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Car has gone 10.52 at 134mph on 100 shot and slicks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR8WHITE Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... And all along I was thinking NA. Ok, so the power shot pulled you through. Are the 3.73s too much a gear or "just right"? Sometimes I think of swapping min eout to 3.73s or 3.90s, but with 505 rw torque, many say STAY 3.42s But I want that hard launch the M12s are giving the Z06s. The MN6s are a tad sluggish in 2nd gear pulls. So tall a gear, its like my transmission is on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest azz061 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 i ran the 10.52 on the 3.42 gears. I have not used the 3.73 yet! So this fall i will test them but not until then! I am sure i will get a few tenths! My car bone stock ran 11.97 and 11.98 with no mods and the 3.42 gears! Your car on slicks i know can do a 11.2 to 11.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR8WHITE Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 When you ran a 10.42, what tires were you running? Best I ran was a shoddy 11.9 with a crappy 1.9 sixty foot spinning all the way into 3rd. 11.2/11.3 is a stretch with street tires for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 1FASTC4 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The car can run 10's in the 1/4 so i achieved my goal for the car.Congrats! Have you ever run 10's? Why I ask: I'm going to end up with a car with a ton of HP and I am wondering if it matters after a certain point. I mean, how much power can our light weight cars put down, with the rest being wasted on tire spin? It would be encouraging to know that, with IRS rear ends, we can get the car down the track in the 10's. This is why I ask. Edit: Uhh I just read the rest of the posts in this thread ... besides the first one. I could just delete my post but maybe it will be good for laughing at the silly goober in Surprise(me). *slinks off, embarrassed but laughing at self nonetheless* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest azz061 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Power to the ground is all a matter of gears, tires and suspension, I went on a fun run at 6am and the new 3.73 gears feel awesome and i can smoke the tires with traction control on and little effort!
