FNBADAZ06 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Time for FNBADAZR1. in my best Eddie Murphy voice......."I can't afford it, because I'm on welfare." I'm really partial to the 427 ci thing, but I did give consideration to a ZR1...just couldn't handle idea of having car payments and the $2K+ AZ vehicle registration each year Now, a Whippled 2011 C6 Z06 with the Z07 package would be entertaining Maybe in a couple years when the deprecitation hit has been taken by an original owner looking to move up, I'd consider a move.

FNBADAZ06 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well, I got one side installed Driver side required the main fuel line be disconnected which required a special tool I don't have so I need to finish the install after scoring the tool and the proper procedure for releaving the fuel line pressure. I'm thinking of having the coil packs painted red but still on the fence on that one, along with using the red MSD plug wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I have the fuel line tool as well as a pressure gauge. I don't think you should have to worry about relieving the pressure in the line as long as it's been sitting a while. Pressure usually drops while it sits.

I don't think you should have to worry about relieving the pressure in the line as long as it's been sitting a while. Pressure usually drops while it sits. Really ? what's "a while" ? I let the car sit for an hour plus as I didn't want to work on a hot engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I would say within an hour or two it should be low enough not to spray you too bad when you put the tool in there. It's only about a 60 psi (ZO6 different??? Don't know), so it's not bad anyway. There will be some residual for at least a few hours, but not too much. Over night should bleed off pretty much all pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LOUDMIKE Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 You can still get some dribble and leakage (EWW) with it sitting overnight. As far as an hour goes, wrap it with a rag. Check valves in the stock pumps can hold a while. Just release with the tool and the wrap with a shop rag while pulling off the nipple. Piece of soup!!

FNBADAZ06 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks to HOXXOH (Tom) for the use of the fuel line disconnect tool and the extra set of hands while installing the driver side Katech valve cover. I now have .000505 additional HP, which should be good for a .000427 reduction in ET Man, those numbers look awefully familiar !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest azz061 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 i will be curious to see what gains you get from the header add! Your car is currently the fastest z06 in Arizona with hardly a mod done! Mine has gone .24 slower than yours with less mods. The modded one has gone .20 slower than mine with said "full bolton's" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 OK.......I admit it This would look really nice under FNBADAZ06's hood Claimed 8 psi on 91 pump gas for stock LS7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
