Z06 Material: 4.10 gears - 0-115

[Espo]

Just wanted to share a little video I took the other night of the new Z I picked up last week.
03 Z06, 243 heads, MS4 cam, LTs w/ cats, Borla and fresh 4.10s.
Quick little blast to 115ish. I wasn't hammering on it because of traction issues, but if I ease into it like in the video, it hooks. Drag radials are a must now with the 4.10s.

Nice! are they ported 243 heads? What's it dynoing SAE?

They are PRC Stage 1 243 Heads, no numbers as of yet, Chuck @ COW tuned it but no numbers. I am going to get it to the dyno in a week or so to see what she's putting down.

[Satan's Snake]

Ive driven a few c5 zo6's I would say power to a E/I cobra is about the same, but the handling is a whole nother league. I would like to own one one day

Sup Anthony.....nice to you in a car again....lmk what that thing makes

Sounds sick man...

But stock C5 ZO6 tops 185mph with 6500rpm and 3.42
with 4.10 you need 27+ tall tires or shorter 6th gear IMO unless the car doesnt see many street runs...

It's a big advantage to only shift twice up to those speeds. I'm just not a fan of 4.10s on a vette, although there are people who swear by them.

You are right, but I wanted to try the 4.10's out because of all the hype in the Corvette world about them, and I will switch it back sooner or later to the stock rear end, but its too much fun to have the ability to pull so hard in any gear, especially up top in the RPM range.

I do like high speed, and nothing like doing 180+ in a vette, but I'd much rather have acceleration with a limited top speed. All the "roll racing" i do is from a 40mph roll, and that is just in the sweet spot in 2nd gear with the Z and 4.10s.

Hows the Cobra doin? I do miss her! How many miles on it now?

+1

4.10's make a hell of a difference!! Sounds damn good though! :beer:

 

[Roots-type]

sounds nasty

Should be right around 440-450rwhp.

 

[WeeZee]

Nice, sounds amazing. Nothing sounds better than a built LS motor. I love C5 & C6 Z06's so great vid. Huge leap from the stock 3.42's !!!
