Thats right... a bolton c6, like mine should trap closer to 120mph.

Ranger from corvetteforum, who ran a 10sec with a stock z06 on drag, is posting stock trap speeds close to 130mph.

 

yes, if it mods, I can't think how fast will it go.

 

I am picking up an 07 c6 z51 and will have a 125 dry shot, vararam intake and kooks headers...car should trap an easy 125+

 

Stock for stock a C5 z06 will run faster than a C6 coupe, thus the 114mph-117mph versus the 116-118mph of the C5 z06.

But, with boltons and tune, like yours, definately 120mph

 

the biggest issue with the c6 is the stupid 19s with runflats in the back, throw some smaller rims with drag radials and you pick up atleast a mph or two...

 

yeah.. you already know the drill.. dropping the runflats will take 6lbs off each corner... drop to lighter rotors and 18" wheels all the way around and...

If I may give you a little advice, everyone with the corvettes does the same mod path... it gives good gains, but its expensive and I believe one can do better. I experimented a little and was able to determine that as far as basic bolt ons go, t he header choice had little to do with everything... most of the gains are just from lengthening the tubes and the fancy merge collectors arent really showing much differnece between my route for an additional $800...

I suggest you look into this, B&B headers ($970)..then swap the heads to the new LS3 l92 heads and matching L76 intake.. have the intake ported by lsportworks, add a LPE intake and a cam and you should be looking at 450-490whp depending on how aggressive you grind your cam.

or you could always go B&B headers with fast intake manifold, LPE inlet, and bullet prt with a tune.. should be around 420whp. At 450 plus you really need to look into upgraded to the z06 wideboy rear fenders... as 285s can barely handle 400whp.

The way I have the car setup.. it sounds insane! it can be very quiet when you want it too.. my startup doesnt kill my neighbors, but at wot its 115+DBs.. no mufflers no cats, but the mid section on the bullets has a sophisicated sound deadening chamber instead of a typical h of x cross over

I didnt give up any power to any of the others cars that went with kooks or LGs.. and I spent the $800 on something else and picked up 10whp over the header only cars... the ported intake manifolds are showing consitant 9-11whp gains for just $200. Other advantage to this setup is no other exhaust looks or sounds as good as the bullets, but with other LTs its to damn loud!.. like nascar loud, I picked up a used prt section from someone for $200.. the other headers are made to use their mid sections only.. so there is no way to run bullets unless you want a 110db idle.

 

so you really thing to go with the B&B setup instead, i just have seen most of the best drag strip passes were on kooks without cats so thats what i was going for...i don't want to open up the motor just yet, going with simple bolt ons as if i was going to go insane i would have bought a zo6 and kept it stock...

 

well potentially the car will gain alot with just the new head and intake manifold combo from the ls3.. i.e under the new rating system the ls3 is supposed to make 435bhp (z51 model).. so If you swap the heads with these GM parts its very unlikely you will have any problems.. and from what I have heard you can swap yourself. I did the ported intake manifold myself in about 3 hours... that was def. a nice gain... but I wish I would have gotten a FAST intake.

You can easily pick up a B&B bullet exhaust used for around 700.. everyone takes them off after getting other headers since they are too loud. Just need to also find a used PRT section to keep the sound resonable.. then get the headers (which have amazing build quality BTW... looks like JIC headers in quality!) You could get all that stuff for the same price as the LG or kooks alone.. for another $900 you could buy the fast intake manifold (which has nitrous ports and blow outs!) and the intake of your choice...

The super budget path would just be B&B headers, take off c6 z06 exhaust, fast intake, vararam or other.. personally I like the other intakes like the lingenfelter as they show +10whp over the vararam on the dyno... the vararam will show a loss of hp. With the LPE and the above you should see 420whp.

 

Corvettes and Evo's are so different that you should enjoy them for what they are. Corvettes are GT's and Evo's are rally cars. Different kind of "fast". For high speed runs, I like my C6 much better. For canyon runs, I prefer the Evo AWD handling. For hauling furniture, the SUV's.

If 0-60 times or 1/4 mile runs are your poison, then slap on the biggest turbo you can find. Personally, I think you're missing the point. But hey, it's your world after all.

 

I agree Your way to lucky to have both...

 

see i see it that the kooks header and xpipe is 1400, im going to keep stock catback, vararam is 350, i picked up the lsx dual stage dry shot for 400 and a predator programmer for 175...I don't want a catback as they draw more attention to the car and I hate hate hate droning...as for the manifold maybe down the road but it doesn't help me for a dry shot...

 

So you're going to use the stock catback?... and just do the cutouts?

 

catbacks make less than 5whp and add droning...ill do header/cat delete/xpipe...

 

I'm with you on the DRONING. As much as I like sound of the B&B and Borlas. I'm probably going with the Corsas when and if I start modifying the Z.......I know I will. Who am I trying to kid

Sounds like you both have some nice C6's.

 

the new c6's not z06's are qucik... but i always pull on em... never raced one when i was stock... but now i pull em on highway and of course from a dig
