Nice. My build is nearly identical to yours. Only real difference is I’m still on stock injectors. Made 628whp and went 10.1 at the track.
Strong numbers man and that’s a good time! What was your 60 ft?
1.559 on the stock wheels on nitto 555r2’s. Video is on my channel if you’re interested.
Just from the little I can tell, the drivability of yours looks smoother than mine and your idle sounds a lot crisper. Did you have any intake clearance issues? Mine hits the water pump. My heads are shaved .030, not sure if yours are.
@@D_Morgan I did not have any intake clearance issues as I did not mess with the head specifications.
Sick
Great color and wheel and tire combo is on point ! 👍
Thank you!
definitely on a good start man just keep making videos as much as you can and have fun w video
Thank you!
I’m picking up a C6 ZO6 in the same spec as this come next weekend. Hope to build it similar to yours! She sounds sick
Sounds great bud! very nice car
Awesome vette! I will hopefully be getting a c6z06 this year🙏🏽
Thank you!
You got this man🔥
Love your build! Look into changing out the seats. Im about to put in corbeau rrx and it should be a game changer.
Seats are definitely on my to do list!
Beautiful build man! One of my favs for sure.
PS: I know San Antonio streets when I see em ✊🏻
Thank you brother!
Badass, hopefully I see you around!
Steering wheel is sick 👍
Clean car man I may have to have to achieve one of my goals and buy one this year!
I appreciate it!
You got this brother, get that Vette!
Love the content man thanks 🙏🏼
I appreciate it brother!
Dream build 🫡
Should definitely do future install videos on motor work in the future!
My favourite Corvette (although the c8 z06 is pretty special!). Hello from uk (Porsche owner but can appreciate other fine automobiles!)
Much appreciated brother!
What model Porsche do you own?
@fantasma_z06 991.2gt3 manual. Did want a c6 z06 at one point, but pretty rare over here.
Im probably one of the three people (including you) that loves te 37s on the c6 vettes. It just works
I have yet to find a vehicle that TE’s don’t look good on lol
Love it ❤
Thank you!
Gotta get more pov’s in 🙏 hopefully I can buy my own z06 by the 2nd half of the year
You got this brother!
Yesssss
Aye let’s see some more vids of the car bro!
I got you! Working on another upload this weekend.
Wow nice ride same set up I have 593 whp btr2 cam e85
That’s a solid setup brother!
C6 best looking vette imo. Coming from a import guy I do love a few American muscle.

Love a cammed c6 zo6
New dream car i got my first now i want another 😂 but sadly i gotta wait 4 more years
You got this! What do you have now?

What springs did you go with on that cam? And pushrod length?
Nice build we are very close in builds I just didn’t get the intake manifold I think that’s what stopping me from 600 I’m at 557 rn
What Cam did you go with?
@@fantasma_tx 4.2 tsp
Beautiful Z bud. Nicely done with it all being put together by yourself. As for the clutch, do you intend on going with the Monster Tripple or a McCloud? I'm still looking around for the right Z for the right price in my area, something that doesn't break the bank for a nice weekend track toy.
Thank you!
Both brands are great but I’ve found Monster to be more affordable. I do plan on installing their twin disc setup.
@@fantasma_tx Post up another video when ya do bud. Love the content, especially when it's about a C6Z.
@@TheWolfMatt thank you. I got you brother!
Nice car love the cam. I have a 4 door 09 CTS v . What size cam is in yours ?
You can never go wrong with a V! I’m running a Stage 4 Cam.
👏🏾👏🏾
this is awesome but drop the links for the hardware brotha!! im about to buy an '06 AT vette.
Awesome CORVETTE. Can you let me know how you got TE37s on it? What was the wheel and tire specs?
Thank you! I ran F80(BMW M3) spec wheels. 18x10.5 +22 Fronts and 18x11 +34 Rears. Tires were 275/35/18 Fronts and 305/35/18 Rears. Don’t be discouraged by the forums that say “you can’t run a 5x120 lug pattern” as opposed to our 5x120.6 lug pattern. I’ve run many 5x120 wheels without any issues whatsoever.
I had tony spec mine heads intake and smaller cam. Did the cluch and tick slave cylinder. Hooker dual note exhaust, scary when it opens.
Badass setup man! On my previous Z06, I installed a twin disc monster clutch with a tick slave and loved it.
I previously had a Corsa Extreme on this one but it was a bit too loud for my liking. I never knew how much I’d appreciate the ability to quieter on command.
Nice build just picked up a C6Z looking at doing some headers. Are you running speed engineering headers? If so what size and how was the fitment any issues?
Awesome brother!
I am running 2” Speed Engineering Headers. No fitment issues.
@@fantasma_tx I have a set of their 1-7/8" headers which I haven't installed yet... I didn't realize they are now offering them in 2"?!?!? I wonder if it's worth bothering to sell mine and order the 2"?
@@ssoffshore5111 if you have a Z06, you could benefit more from 2 inch Headers given the 7.0 does like to breathe. You really can’t go wrong with either though!
Doing headers on these cars is a literal motherfucker.
Beautiful Z!! What’s the site for the steering wheel?
Thank you! Their website is revesol-usa.com
im at 570 whp rn cool vid! what steering wheel do you have?
Thank you!
The steering wheel is Revesol
are you a mechanic? how did you have the skills to do this build mostly on your own?
i want one!!!!!!
Do it!
Love this car.
ended up getting a SS 1LE instead, but still lust for the 7L LS7 in the z28 and z06
Thank you!
Not a bad choice at all by the way. They’re easier to work on(in my opinion) and the aftermarket for them is insane!
Most unreliable sports car engine they have made since 1980.
What steering wheel did you say that was? I’ve been looking around for one
It’s a Revesol Steering Wheel
what apple carplay is that. link?
Good vid. But could that C6 be your only car and in the Northest?
Not too good in the snow.
I wouldn’t recommend it in all honesty. I’ve driven it in light snow with no problem but clearance is my most common concern with it.
Are you in San Antonio?
nice man, where was that thumbnail taken?
Thank you! I took the Z06 to track day at Harris Hill Raceway and one of the photographers took that.
@@fantasma_tx I thought it looked familiar
With all that done you still think the valve can drop?
A valve drop will always remain a possibility unfortunately however, the odds of it actually happening are less likely now with all the “preventive” measures I’ve done.
Do you think roller rockers and taller valve covers will alleviate any valve train noise ? I'm getting a ticking every once in awhile from the valve train. I pulled the valve covers to see if there was any obvious issues, loose rockers, pushrod, etc., looked all tight, I did see some scratching on the inside of the valve covers potentially hitting the valve covers. BTR Stage 3 cam and valve train with heads being done 2 years ago, maybe 2000 miles, what do you think ?@@fantasma_tx
It is $3k or less to fix the valve drop issue. Just incorporate that in the cost and you are fine.
Great car! A lot of us pealed off the little "GM" chicklet from our Z's. I guess it was the whole Obama era bailout of car companies. Just seemed out of style since no other Corvette came with GM logo on the outside. Only other tip I would give is, be on the lookout for seat covers, if you drive a lot. I lost my driver seat, and could not buy the leather again from GM.
Thank you!
I get asked all the time about that little logo. I left it on both my previous and current Z06 lol.
Thanks for the heads up about the seats. Thankfully, I haven’t experienced any abnormal wear but I do plan on swapping them in the near future as I was all over the place when I tracked the Vette.
How’s the drivability with the stage 4 cam?
Just kidding didn’t finish the video haha
@@alejandrovelasco8187 all good brother lol. The drivability isn’t terrible though.
can you give me a link to your steering wheel?
Check out revesol-usa.com
@@fantasma_tx thanks man!
Why do you have that ratchet ass switch for exhaust in the glove compartment lol. I would have kept stock mufflers and put on the $80 mild 2 wild remote. Love having it on a remote
Wow, achieve the same exact result but instead press this button on a keychain for the low cost of $80 vs a switch I literally got for free. To each their own I guess. Also, didn’t know the center console is now considered the glove compartment.
@@fantasma_tx woah take a step off the hostility ladder. Its not a good look...
@@TehZured says the one who went put of his way to comment calling my setup “ratchet”. Right, I’m the one who needs to chill out. No need for that negativity. Don’t like it? Move on.
@@fantasma_tx it was a joke. The $80 remote looks 10x cleaner and its only $80.You have to be able to take some criticism and say thank you lol
@@TehZured ok
is there is a big different between 2008 and 2009 trans? both are T66
Pre 2008 models are equipped with the T56 Transmission and 2008+ are equipped with the TR-6060. To my knowledge, no changes were made apart from transmission change itself.
@fantasma_z06 i just bought c6z 2008 so mu trans is t66 right?
@@IIIMoTeC that would be the TR-6060 brother
@fantasma_z06 thanks brother🤝🏻
what size are those wheels...and what brand are they?
They’re 19” front and 20” rear
what company are they@@fantasma_tx
Forgestar CF10
what wheels and sizes are you running ?
19x10 Front, 20x12 Rear
@@fantasma_tx What tires have you found in 19/20 that actually hook okay? I have a set of silver C7Z wheels on my black C6Z and love the way it looks, but tires in these sizes that actually semi-hook are few!
The engine is the big concern. 20k to replace.
If heads are fixed you good unless you boost
Having alot of money is how you build your car
It’s definitely not free
I wouldnt keep a c6z if it was free. With valve guide drop or titanium sodium rods breaking and it has happened on stock cars with mild driving. Sounds like its nice to have 45k on had to replace a few engines.
To each their own
Titanium sodium rods? You sound you don't know shit about the LS7 or the issues and what needs to be addressed.
The guides came oversized from the supplier, linamar,the sodium filled exhaust valve is not Titanium,ther le has been a issue with the early LS rods having the coating wear off due to the GM brass not taking the added steps in the coating process.
Heads get fixed with ferra hollow STAINLESS STEEL exhaust valves, the Titanium intake valves can be reused.
Maybe go do research before commenting on this guy's video,and no the engines aren't 20k your too poor probably to own a c6 z06😂😂😂😂
Dumb 😂
Here, I'll save you 13 minutes (with a more important message below):
Step 1. Buy a cam, intake manifold, and Halltech CAI (or Vararam).
Step 2. Slight work to heads, and valve springs.
Step 3. Tune.
Here's a more important tip: it will help to speak to the camshaft seller, because just slapping a donkey-dick cam in to make 600whp+ isn't all that there is to it. You can put a gigantic 248/262 camshaft in there to make maximum dyno numbers, but your driveability will suffer because where you make power will shift higher into the RPM range. You'll end up with a car that you can brag that it makes 6xx whp, but you'll hate driving it. Oh, and it will need valve springs replaced more often. Or, you can get a smaller camshaft that will make less power near redline, but you'll make more power and more torque throughout the rest of the RPM range.
Finally, if your dyno graph shows STD instead of SAE, it's because they wanted to inflate your numbers.
Thanks for watching!♥️
Don’t forget the extra 30 mins it took for you to write this, and the 10 minutes to edit your bible verse.
unfortunately these and many other vehickes wont be road legal by 2027 and ins companies wont insure unless its a ev and fully internet connected by 32' . It is how they will force ev's or else. I say to them f the f off.
What are you talking about, that will never happen, new cars yes, but not cars already on the road.
Sent you a DM on IG! Have a c7z right now and seriously considering a c6z!!
