Loud Pedal Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks Phil, I'll to do that. Glenn, do you want to chime in here? PM sentToday is the big day! I think I'm more excited than when I first bought the car!! I'll have to see how the clutch works out for me, but I can't see any harm in doing some laps on the track Friday. It's not like I'll be power shifting or doing timed runs.Hi Jason, is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? How bout now? Is it ready now? I have some pics but can't find the %@#$ cable for my camera to download 'em. I'll post some when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loud Pedal Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Woooooooooohahaha...Yeah. I've been hanging in the garage with Jenna all night. I think I started it about a half dozen times just to hear it rumble. <sorry neighbors>The drive home was on surface streets with a lot of stop and go. Perfect for welcoming that clutch to it's new home. I was surprised at how well mannered it really is. Chatter, sure. On/Off, yeah a bit. Streetable... totally.She chunks like I hoped and is very well behaved over about 1400. The loud pedal is a whole new experience with those stickies on the back and the newfound ooompfh. Holy mother of %@#$@. :DThe crew at Xtreme stayed late to make sure everything was done and done right. They even waited for the marathon dyno dude to finish up just to turn the screws and lower her down a bit. Hats off to Jason, Darrell, NicD and all the guys that made my baby ROAR. What a class act! Huge thanks!Gonna rest up and hit dyno day tomorrow to hook up with Ken and crew.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyguy1969 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 congrats on the new mods. Sounds like you got everything you were hoping for i'm sure you were missing not having her in the garage. Now get out there and have some fun with her.

Jason L Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Glad you got her home I got a txt from a friend of mine last night asking if I knew a black vette with the plate EUDLOSE on it headed for QC. I said yeah I know that car he said it sounds bitchin! Make sure you break that clutch in before you go dynoing it and such plus we still need to get the final tune in her on the rollers.ThanksJason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewstein Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Jason has some R6s on the way for me as well. How do you like them so far?Did you get any sort of hookup on the Nitto Invo tires? I think I want to run those up front as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like them so far?Did you get any sort of hookup on the Nitto Invo tires? I think I want to run those up front as well.I'm still breaking in my clutch, so I haven't pounded them too hard. But I have had a couple spurts in second and they just STICK where the F1s would have given up.Between the R6s and the Invos, road noise is now non-existant. It rides and corners a million times better too. Highly recommended setup.Andrew hooked me up on the Invos through discount. Give him a PM.

jmartin Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 i'm very intersted in seeing how that clutch works dave, its about that time for me to do mine and I've been leaning torward the textralia, which one did you put in the z? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I am very pleased with it. Pedal pressure is slightly higher, but not bad at all. I'm still breaking it in so I have some chatter from a stop that I'm sure will fade or go away, but otherwise shifts very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a bit of a bucking bronco in a tight parking lot, but it is a small price to pay. Is your Z a C6? From what I understand the intake porting has a big effect on driveability. Not sure if this applies to the C5 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason L Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Not as much on a C5, with the C5's we will either do an Ls2 intake or FAST intake and 90mm TB depending on what the person wants to do, the Ls7 cars though make a BIG difference in how it drives.

Isnt that a bit over kill, from what Ive read on cf and folks Ive talked to on there they say the oz-700 is fine for upwards of 700 or so hp. Just wondering why you decided to go that route its a decision I'm going to have to make sooner or later, did someone sugest you needed a twin disc, do you plan on racing it or going over that hp range?

R&E advised me that they were slipping their stock clutch at a similar horsepower ( about 600 ). I saved a few bones by doing it while it was torn down and did it primarily for future proofing. I also plan on doing a few passes with stickies on it which is a recipe for smoking the stock clutch. The other upside is the pedal travel is greatly reduced, which is great for road racing. I can shift with less than an inch of pedal now. It's pretty cool but takes some retraining. The last 5 inches of clutch are useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
