Yeah! I definitely will be getting a harness bar and harness making the standard 3 point just when im doing a cruise on the streets. the AMT bracket helps me sit very low . It will actually be an adjustment for me. Hate that I cant test driving with them until the motor gets back lol.

@ I know, I’m loving watching the progress you’re going through, it’s a long arduous journey but you’re learning a ton in the process. I’m also super jealous that you can track your car 12 months out of the year, up here in Kansas City, we get about 6 months and half of those are crazy hot!🥵

Thanks man! Definitely a bit overwhelming, but im excited to get back to it soon. Hoping to take advantage of the slim time I have left of NOT so hot weather here in Florida lol

@@SloJoeRacing I’m sure you’re sick of spending all the money, but I can’t say enough good things about the AP Racing Radical brake setup. I feel much more confident they won’t over heat and I get a much firmed pedal feel. At $5k they are expensive but it takes a bit of the danger factor out of this hobby. I just did the front set as they do about 70% of the braking work, but I plan to do the rears this year.

Yeah sounds like you might have some valve stem seal issues going on. Might also want to revisit your tune as well make sure your richness levels aren’t too high.

Absolutely! A must add and relatively simple job for my reliability.

@@SloJoeRacing For sure! I swapped in the Zr1 Carbon Ceramics on my car - and once they are hot - and you slam on the brakes. I've been noticing the oil pressure dropping. So I'm gathering up all of the dry sump parts and going to swap them in. I already have the Improved Racing baffle and crank scraper - and yeah oil pressure still drops.

Excited brother! Hoping to get some Updates on the motor today

Agreed!

@ 😂😂😂😂

@@louiC6Z no, now that you mention it didn’t see one. Great call out! I have to drop the tank again to run e85 flex fuel sensor going to take a peak inside again.

@@Tigerchevelle77 it’s a custom grind smog passable cam from cam motion. Dm my ig and we can discuss Slojoeracing

Yeah! Don’t get me wrong with the stock c6 seats are comfortable just not ideal for my use which is primarily track focused driving.

I’ve got to get the seats weighed with the brackets. I know the seats alone are 12lbs my factory driver seat was according to Google about 52lbs lol

@@SloJoeRacing you have to factor in the mounts as well as the factory seats are all one piece d/p .. Driver is 52lbs passenger is like 38lbs .. my total setup with recaros netted - 30lbs

@ @ yeah I’m going to pull the seat in a few weeks once the motor is running for final adjustment and weigh them to get the totals.

@@jrr7031 my car is a manual so naturally it’s always in N

@SloJoeRacing I couldn't tell, but it looked like that was the hang up....but ya cut the vid! Lmfao. Thank the algorithm for putting you you cuz I want to do a few things to a C6 I'm looking to purchase.

@@jrr7031 haha my bad on that. Good luck on the purchase!

🤣🤣🤣

@@z06bir lmao, you probably are. Clapped Out LS7 bros lol

Hell yeah! Its going to be running on whole lot of freedom when it comes out!

@@michaelsio1000 yeah no definitely not reusing mine. Going with the Johnson Tbar lifters. Did you go with those?

Yes my c6 is a z06 so it’s manual transmission

@ thank you, I was installing mine and I saw the other drain holes and was like wait WTF 😹 but I figured out they don’t do anything PHEW thank you for clarifying tho !!

@ haha same! I was wondering if they didn’t send me plugs lol

Thank you!

I think you can do either or first. I went with dry sump lines second to see just how much oil would sit in the lines once the pan was empty. Was surprised that it had that much left in the lines.

@@David-kl5ln 😂😂 let’s see how quick they turn this old ls7 around and convince you to come down to help me install it and tune it lol

😂😂 you ain’t kidding!

@@phelpsgarage4202 next video should be spicy! L

Let’s go!! 🙌🏻

@@Club-Version soon brother we will all be back out on track together!

What part is stuck?

lol, I cut out everyone’s reactions but we all lost it when that happened. Getting closer to a healthy motor!

Thanks man!

Yeah! totally agree with you. I think the "While im there" can lead down a serious rabbit hole. I was already very happy with the platform while it was arguably running hurt most of the time. im going to improve a few areas mainly to protect the little components that dont get any attention typically.

@@SloJoeRacing I'd honestly call the guys over at Katech to see what they'd do in this case. You'd be surprised to see what they have to say about these C6 Z06 Vettes, they used to run these pretty hard in ALMS racing along with all the things they did for the street cars they built. A ton of the old C5.R LS7 parts would work very well for your build. What could it hurt to ask right?

Yeah absolutely. ive had a few convos with them in the past and I recently purchased their high flow oil pump and c5r timing chain.

@@SloJoeRacing Here's a question for ya. Are you going to upgrade the valvetrain on the heads at all? If so, I'd go with all titanium valves just to lighten things up for the LS7 to really rev out past 7k safely. Otherwise, some nice stainless valves work well at getting you to the 7k limit but not much further.

@@TheWolfMatt I will definitely be upgrading my rockers given some mishaps we've experienced with the in the past. The valves are going to be inspected and we will see what route we take. Im basically taking my motor in its entirety without removing anything so they can asses every component and tell me what we need to make a happy motor for my use.

@@z06bir 😂😂 @koalaz06 brought all of his Milwaukee stuff to make us feel bad about our life decisions lol

And snapon and Cornwell. The car might be junkyard but the tools didn’t have to be.

LOL! Junkyard LS7 coming back with Vengeance!

Thanks! You and me both! Looking forward to a happy healthy motor.

😂😂😂 it was definitely sketchy!

yeah, its crazy that disabling v4 mode doesnt really hurt your MPG like you'd assume. My truck was getting really great MPG when I createdthis video a few years back and even in todays age with 120k miles, taller lift and larger wheel and tires. I still can average about 15MPG in out of the city and about 18 on the highway driving patiently.

Thanks man! Hopefully real soon!

Thanks for the support! Means a lot!

I’m using quickjacks. I have the 5000 series

We going to start working towards 2:15 lap time!

@@SloJoeRacing that’s a big goal!! I’ll be watching!!

@@jwb4bb yeah! This is an older video. Motor is going to be down for a rebuild and I was reminiscing on old videos lol

@@jayd1008 my current issue is not related to the oil I’m running. Rather my piston rings and bearings are failing. Once I get those addressed I’ll definitely dial back my oil viscosity.

@@SloJoeRacing well that is the reason! the tolerences in the ls7 rod bearings are very tight . the cold flow in the thicker oil at 40cst viscocity is lacking lubrication at start up and taking oil much longer to warm up .. did you run a compression test ?

@@jayd1008 yes all cylinders were at 195 to 205

@@SloJoeRacing seems within range .. did you do leak down test as well ?

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅

Can't Wait to be out on track!!!

Thanks for the support! Yeah im excited to get past the constant motor worries and have it healthy so I can focus on learning how to drive. Im running the LG GT2 coilovers now. Do you recommend different ones?

@@SloJoeRacing You running their sway bars and end links as well? They have several different kits. Sorry, been out of the loop on your channel a while. The GT2 kit is pretty nice tho.

@@TheWolfMatt Yeah im running their sway bars as well. I think once the car is down im going to review all of that. Ive never done a proper alignment also. Before my next track day the car will be running lol aligned and with a faster tire for sure

@SloJoeRacing Also consider talking with LG Motorsports about their track alignment as that'll help out a ton on track. I just don't suggest it around town as it'll make your car rather darty around any bumps.

@@TheWolfMatt yeah the car doesn’t see much normal road time. It has a bit more this year since the oil consumption I decided to not race it so just to move it I’ve driven it more than I planned to if the motor was good
