    After having owned the Z for a little more than 3 months, I am absolutely in love with it. It's leaps and bounds ahead of the '94. So far, I've added American Racing headers, GHL Bullets, Vararam intake, Elite Engineering catch can, Pfadt tow hooks and swapped all of my interior and exterior lights over to LEDs. Running switchback style turn signals and halo LED taillights. Plus I just ordered some Corbeau seats. I plan on keeping her for a long time although I'll probably want a new C7 lol.

  • @Mercskowski
    @Mercskowski  12 лет назад

    Thanks dude. The best I've managed to get for a 0-60 run is about 4.5 seconds with headers, intake, ECS tune and shitty Firestone Wide Oval tires. I'm curious to see how she'll run in the summer with hopefully a set of Toyo R888s. Shame to hear about your Challenger. The Rallye Redlines are sweet looking, but it sucks that they only have the V6s. Sorry for just getting back to you; I don't know how I missed your comment.

  • @Mercskowski
    @Mercskowski  11 лет назад +1

    If you're on stock heads and cam, the FAST won't provide that much of an increase. Maybe 8-10rwhp? Once you go with ported or aftermarket heads and/or bigger cam, you should see more noticeable gains; more so with the heads than the cam.

  • @andrenj1970

      So far I've done headers, intake and a tune. I'd love to do a 383 stroker with a nice heads/cam package next!

      1994C4Vette nice, I have c5 conv. with bolt ons also firehawk conv. with bolt ons and keep them nice with carbon fiber and chrome toys. Winter time I only drive them when the roads are clean from salt, that's the way to keep them that way. 4x4 f250 plays in the snow instead;)

  • @Mercskowski
    @Mercskowski  11 лет назад

    Yea, I gotcha lol. Stick to getting air in and air out. Headers, intake and a tune are the best starting mods. Easy horsepower. When you want to get a cam, look into getting a custom grind instead of some off the shelf grind which might not be perfectly suited for your car. With a custom grind, they can look at the mods you've already done, what you want from the cam, current engine specs and so on. With what you mentioned, just bump the power a little and put good tires on and you'll be set!

    Thanks man. Still not loud enough though lol. Gonna swap the GHL Bullets for a set of Borla straights. Hopefully be almost as loud as that yellow ZR1 from New York. I can only imagine the turnout next year. There were apparently over 500 cars yesterday.

  • @Mercskowski
    @Mercskowski  11 лет назад

    Nice!! Glad to see you finally got it! It's making 380rwhp and 380rwtq with the headers, intake and tune. I haven't added any other go fast parts since then. Just changed all the lights over to LEDs and installed Corbeau racing seats, 5 point harnesses and a harness bar. I also got it lowered 1" last week. Next step is changing the wheels and tires. After that it's all track prep stuff; SS brake lines, track pads, upgraded rotors, SS brake caliper pistons, oil, trans and diff coolers, etc..

    I liked your 94, cool snow video! But having owned a yellow 2001, I'd say that you will enjoy this C5 a lot more! I have had a 58,60,65,69,72,75,01. Now all I have is my 72 and my 75. My 72 has sat since 2010 and the 75 has sat since 1977. I bought a 2012 camaro to hold me over until the C7 arrives. I really miss my C5. When I sold it, it had 11,500 miles. A dude I know traded an 02 Z06 for a Honda civic. And another guy just traded a 03 Z06 w/ 5 k miles and a 67 GTO for 2 Hyundais. The stupide

  • @Mercskowski
    @Mercskowski  11 лет назад

    As long as you know the typical drivetrain loss, you can figure out roughly how much you make to the wheels. I'm guessing you're probably making around 320-325 to the rear. With 350rwhp, you're looking at about a 6% drivetrain loss which is insane. The first things I'd say to do would be a good intake, headers, catback, and a good tune. Stick to bolt-ons first then heads and cam. Also look at a suspension upgrade for better handling and brakes for increaed stopping power since it's heavy lol.

  • @tmat04
    @tmat04 10 лет назад

    Overall, the car is nicely designed. However, the absence of the rear 3/4 Window somewhat throw off the design of these earlier Corvette models, in my opinion. I think Chevy did a much better job with the upcoming 2015 Z06 model, even though it lacks the circular tail lights (which I think looked beautiful). The Vette is one of few sports cars that looks better and better each time a new model is introduced.

  • @andrewbrown4019

  • @SkeenDogger

    Just disconnect the solenoid, you still get the indication, but not a lock out. Like your C5, not crazy about a taller hood if not needed, but some people just think it's cool. I know you didn't put it on though. You put your money where it matters. Someday people will learn if you go for unnecessary visuals you'll have to put up at some point...

  • @thegoldensaber4531
    @thegoldensaber4531 10 лет назад

    Cool car but I agree that all of the accessories are stupid. I like the black taillights because it contrasts well with the red, but I would ditch everything else. The floor mats definitely look wrong. The first things I would add would be a dash mat, a locking gas cap, and blacked out windows. Then a loud ass exhaust and sticky tires.

    • @nickbenderer3086
      @nickbenderer3086 9 лет назад

      I know that there's a couple of different companies that offer the harness that eliminates that feature. If you Google search "cags eliminator" you'll find a bunch of them. That feature was turned off when I had my car tuned after the headers and intake were installed.

    • @Mercskowski
      @Mercskowski  10 лет назад +1

      free goofy Dude, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. The C5 Z06s never had the LS2, which didn't come out until 2005 for the C6 Corvettes. They only lasted until 2007 and were replaced in 2008 with the LS3. The 2001-2004 C5 Z06s had the LS6. The LS6 is just an LS1 with 243 heads, LS6 specific cam and intake, 10.5:1 compression and sodium filled valves. The LS6 also has a bit different block structure compared to the LS1 featuring windows cast into the block between cylinders, improved main web strength and bay to bay breathing. Besides, you could have also found out all of the information I just put here by just doing a simple Google search or finding the info on Wikipedia.
