jophis37 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hi everyone, this is my first post on the site. I live down in Sierra Vista and own a 2002 blk Z06. The only mods done so far are lg's, vararam, and ghl's. I'm looking to either go h/c or FI sometime in the next year, so I'll be asking lots of questions.

anmracing Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 You'll notice I refrained from saying something about another black C5 joining up.... ;) Doh! I guess I just ruined that.... Do the other color C5's hang out in a different forum? Hmmm....M- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jophis37 Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thanks for the welcomes. First ?.. I just dynoed my car after installing the mods previously listed, My dyno graph looks like s**t. The tq and hp curves are not nice at all. Do you think w/ a tune this could be striaghten out and will it be possible to gain another 5-10 tq/hp. I put down 379 rwhp and 376 rwtq. After puting 359/355 stock w/ only adding a K&N, I was hoping to be more so in the 380's than the 370's. Anyone think it's worth the tune, opr should I just sasve the money and add it to the savings for the h/c package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1EvilC5 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I would just save the money and add a cam, it should get you around 40 more HP.Talk with Mike at AZ Power and Sound. He will probably jump in here soon.Phil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anmracing Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Welcome. Nothing wrong with another Black 2002 Z06. That's true - but I am wondering if we're only recruiting black cars these days....j/kM-ps-would like to see the change in numbers once the new parts go on!

Guest Kens06 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Welcome. Nothing wrong with another Black 2002 Z06.Did someone say Black Z06??All righty!! Welcome!!Don't be taken in by the dyno game!!!A street car with those numbers is more than enough!!I see you know Tony, so I guess I'll retract that last statement!! The whole thing with any car, but especially a Corvette is#1 What are you looking to achieve. It could be 11.5 quarters, or a specific lap time at a track or Autocross class!#2 Talk to people that have achieved your goal, and they will be happy to tell you what NOT to do. This will save you money and frustration because they did the experiment before you!!Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jophis37 Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 Love the black Z's, guys, Thanks for the advise. I'm gonna go ahead and get the tune. Then wait a little while. It seems you here of something new comming out for these cars all the time. Last I heard Andy at A&A corvettes put a set of ETP heads, small cam and left the stock exhaust on a Z06 and got 470 rwhp and something like 426rwtq. So I'm just gonna sit back and take my time. Hopfully Tony will get a case of the mod bug, and I can see what works for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Oops, Im a little late jumping in here, but I just wanted to say, WELCOME to you as well. Even though, I own a Black Corvette, it is not a Z06, but I would also advise save your cash, put the h/c package in your car and then tune tune tune to your hearts desire to get those numbers that you are looking for. It took me a while, but man oh man, once we got the h/c done and tuned it.....well, you can see the results for yourself. And yes, Mike from AZ Power and Sound did all the work.I highly recommend him and his shop. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We all have no problems here helping another Corvette owner out. Take it easy and I am looking forward to meeting ya sometime. Tanya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
