I finally had some free time to take the Corvette out - and beat on it.

2 weeks ago - the local 1/4 mile drag strip was open. Zmax is never open for Test and Tune - but they where open one night for the Nascar shops - so I went racing with them.

I got 3 runs in - and managed not to break the car.

My times where:
13.1 @ 111
13.7 @ 115
13.5 @ 121

I didn't launch the car hard off the line - I barely have 1k miles on the clutch. I rolled into the throttle and screwed up the 1-2 shift twice.

My video of the runs:




Last weekend I was able to go autocrossing finally.

I autocrossed with the local CCR-SCCA chapter - and went autocrossing in the big parking lot at Zmax Dragway.

I was in the first run group - and on my first run - it was only 54* outside. On the last turn of my run - I gassed it to hard and ended up kicking the rear end out and I slid right into the timing box.

This ended up cracking my side splitter in 3 spots - but luckily the door and rest of the car where fine. There is a small scratch in the clear coat on the door - that will probably buff out.

My times for the day where:

Run 1: 95.752
Run 2: 90.086
Run 3: 90.022
Run 4: 86.403

I managed to drop time each run - I just wish we had one or 2 more runs and I might have been able to drop more time.

Video of the runs:

Tons of potential left for AutoX. Video looked like a nice Sunday cruise. When you get everything broken in and some more track time, car should be killer!

Not my Region, not my issue to worry about. But... Those timing lights are way too close to the course for a finish line that close to the final turn.

Long time no update!

A few weeks back I took the Corvette out on Charlotte Motor Speedway for their charity laps. I drove for one session - and rode along in my buddies new Z06 for the second session.

I ran into a lot of traffic on the session that I drove - here is some footage from my laps:



SS Update:

I have had the V wheels on the SS for well over a year now - and I have never really been happy with the center caps that I put on there. I had a set of ACE Wheel center caps leftover from the Zr1 replicas that I had on my C6. I had plastidipped them and put them on.

They looked alright - but I wanted something new. I happened to find out the 6th Gen Camaro center caps are the same as the C6/C7/V - and so I ordered a new set of "SS" center caps for the new Camaro. I got them in a few days and really like them.

https://c7.staticflickr.com/1/678/31...c9397cbc_h.jpg

Heres an overview of the centercap install:

I just finished updating the front end of the truck.

I had installed the 2014+ 1500 rear bumper on my truck - but I always felt that I need to do something about the front.

So I looked at my setup - chrome 2500 grill, billet bro truck grill, and the red GMC logo.

I already blacked out the billet grill as I posted earlier - but I wanted to change the front end of the truck.

I wanted my 2500 to look like the midnight/black series that the current trucks are doing.

So I picked up a 1500 GMC work truck grill and decided to paint it body color.

I rattle canned the rear bumper and that turned out really well - so I decided to use Duplicolor on the front grill.

I had some paint supplies left over from the bumper project - so I only had to pick up a few cans of paint to paint grill.

I sanded the grill - primed/base/clear coated it - and then wet sanded and buffed it. I think it turned out great!

While I was in there I decided to install the new fog lights that my girlfriend had gotten me like 2 years ago.

After I installed the grill and the fogs - I had to raise the front bumper approximately 2" to fill the gap between the grill and bumper.

I cut the 2500 brackets to clear the frame - and then I added washers/spacers to raise up the mounting points for the bumper and bolted everything together.

Here are some pics of all of the projects - I also removed the GMC logo and plastidipped it black. I think the final product turned out pretty kick ass:

I also filmed these mods - if you are interested I added all 4 videos to my Youtube channel below:

Corvette Updates:

Awhile back I posted where I crashed the Corvette and tore up the side skirt.

I got the side skirt after a few weeks - and finally had time to install it!

Here is the old skirt vs new - the install went pretty smoothly with no issue.

https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/581/31...7f9d6785_b.jpg

Here is an overview of the install:



I also decided to clean up the Elite Engineering Catch Can. The catch can came with some nickel finished fittings that I never liked. I ordered some black 1/4" NPT to 3/8" Hose barbs from Fragola - and Vibrant performance. I installed the new fittings with no major issue - I really think it cleaned up the catch can installation.

https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/421/32...ce541a51_b.jpg




SS Updates:
The next mods where to finish removing more of the old man chrome on the exterior.

I did a group buy here in the Carolinas and ordered 3 upper black trim - and 3 lower black trim pieces to go around the windows.

Lower Trim Install:


Upper Trim Install:

SS Update time!

Back on Black Friday - I saw that a KZ Coatings was offering 25% off powder coating for a set of Brembos calipers.

So I placed an order to get a set of Brembo cores powdercoated red for the SS.

While I was waiting for the brakes to come in - I happened to see that the new C7 Z06 Corvettes (Non CCB) are the same front brake calipers as the 09-13 CTS-V and the first gen ZL1's. What makes the C7Z different from the V/ZL1 are the pistons within the caliper themselves. The calipers on the Z are vented - vs your traditional brake piston. These vents supposedly drop brake temperatures by 90* F.

I figured since the brakes are torn apart - I might as well do the upgrade since I'm in there. I worked with KZ coatings - and ordered the upgraded pistons from RockAuto and had them shipped there.

The Part Numbers are:
C7 Z06 Vented Stainless Caliper Pistons: 23242510

KZ assembled the calipers with the new vented Z pistons - and shipped them my way. The install went pretty quick as I had already done this upgrade once - everything bolted on.

After bleeding the brakes and going for a test drive - I packaged up my silver brembos and sent them back to KZ and got my core refund back.

Overview of the install:

All vehicles looking good!

To start the build of my SS - I picked up a set of Kooks 1 7/8" Long Tube Headers.

I picked these up on Cyber Monday 2 years ago - and spent less then $600 for the long tubes.

I've had these sitting for awhile because I was busy with the E-Force install on the Corvette.

That has been finished up - and its time to start this winters project.

These headers are stainless steel - and a vast improvement over the stock restrictive exhaust manifolds.

The install was pretty straight forward - remove the stock air intake, remove the coil packs/spark plugs/spark plug wires - and you will have plenty of room to get the stock parts out.

Remove the exhaust manifolds by starting at the bottom - remove the factory catback pipes.

Remove the O2 sensors - and then go back to the top of the car.

Remove the exhaust manifold bolts and let the exhaust manifold rest on the frame/motor mounts.

Get back under the car - and pull the stock manifolds out.

While still under the car slide up the Kooks headers from the bottom - let them rest on the frame/engine mounts.

Go back to the top of the car - grab the headers and put in one bolt to allow you to mock them into place.

After you get the headers in place - install the gaskets - install the rest of the bolts and you will be done.

Install the O2 sensors - and whatever catback you go with - and you will be good to go!

Now for some pics:

For my full review/install please watch my video here:

After I installed a set of Kooks Long Tube headers on the SS - I needed a way to connect my headers to the Corsa Catback. To accomplish this, I welded in a set of High Flow Cats to my Kooks/Corsa connection pipes.

I used a set of Offroad J-pipes from Kooks for a Pontiac G8.

When used on the SS - they are 3" short so I needed to added in 3" of pipe.

To make up the difference I cut a few inches out of each J pipe - and added in the high flow cats.

I cut the J pipes in 2 - removed a few inches - and then added in the cats. I then took these assemblies to the car - and tacked everything together after I tightened down the front and rear hardware.

After getting everything mocked up - I removed the pipes/cats - fully welded them on the table - and then cleaned up the welds.

I installed the finished pipes, installed the O2 sensors - and the project was finished.

For my full review/install please watch my video here:

I'm in the middle of the latest project for the SS - adding an LSA Supercharger! I will be updating this thread with the latest updates from the install.

I picked up this LSA blower for really cheap - all that it needs is a new isolator coupler.

This blower is the start of a budget build for my SS - I'll be using a mix of new/used parts.

My goal is to have an affordable supercharged cruiser.

This supercharger came off of a Camaro ZL1 - the original owner had complained about the supercharger being noisy. So GM removed the blower and replaced it - without tearing down this one.

All that was wrong with this supercharger is the isolator coupler inside of the blower.

After replacing the coupler - it will be good as new!

I also picked up a new ZL1 lid for the LSA swap for Summit Racing. I wish I had gotten it a few years ago as the price almost doubled for the swap.

I am going to break down the lid and send the coolant intake manifold out to be modified.

Once the manifold gets back - it will have two -12 AN fittings tig welded to it.

I plan on running -12 AN lines for the coolant system and get rid of the ugly GM plastic piping.

Now for some pics:

Below are my latest Youtube videos showing the latest project progress:

The next step in Supercharging the SS - is to reassemble the ZL1 lid. I tore the lid down previously to send the intercooler coolant manifold out to get modified. I sent the manifold out to a shop to have two -12 AN fittings Tig welded to it - that way I could use the AN fittings and lines for the intercooler coolant system.

I did not want to use the stock GM plastic pieces - they will get brittle over time - and look terrible.

To help the manifold blend in with the rest of the ZL1 setup - I cleaned up the manifold after I got it back from the shop - and primed/painted it. This way the AN fittings, the manifold itself, and the ZL1 lid are all black.
After everything dried - I fully assembled the manifold, the AN fittings, and put the intercooler brick back inside of the ZL1 lid.

To see the full modifications - please watch my video below:

In order to start the LSA install - I first need to start preparing the blower.


I removed the factory ZL1 boost control solenoid - this sensor is not used in the SS application. It needs to be unplugged, the vaccum port tubes attached to it need to be removed as well. Take out the 10mm bolt - and your are good to go.


I also readjusted the boost control valve inside the supercharger. By loosening the 2 10mm bolts on the outside of the blower - and angling the valve assembled toward the firewall - this ensures that the valve is fully closed. By fully closing the boost bypass valve - you will gain up to an extra 1.5 PSI which will be good an additional 15 whp or so.


I also identified what ports need to be plugged - and which way to route the vaccum ports connecting the blower bypass valve - the supercharger - and the blower snout.


I also installed the fuel evap sensor on the front of the blower - and tightened it down with the 10mm bolt.

Nice job. I'm sure it will surprise a few people not knowing the SS is SC'd.

Thanks Jay - hell most people already think its a 4 cylinder FWD Malibu.

It will def blow their minds when its a blown RWD beast!

The next part of my install - was prepping and painting the LSA/LS9 valve covers.

I had used a set of Holley LS valve covers on my E-Force install on the Corvette - and I had nothing but issues with them.

I had PCV/oiling issues since the E-Force eliminated the valley port vent - and made you use the drivers side rear port vent for the new PCV routing.

This lead to a lot of oil getting sucked up through the Holley valve cover - and went straight into the blower. The Holleys did not have a built in check valve - and this contributed to the oiling issue.

The Holley Valve covers also leaked oil out of the center bolt holes - as well as the perimeter gaskets as well.

This lead me to return the Holleys and go with the LSA/LS9 valve covers.

I prepped and painted the valve covers - and added a check valve/catch can on the Corvette and this solved all of my pcv/oiling issues.

Since I did not want to repeat/have any of those issues on the SS - I bought another set of LSA/LS9 valve covers.

I tore the new valve covers down, cleaned up the outer surface - and then painted them with VHT Engine primer and then VHT GM Flat Black Engine Paint.

It took 3 coats of primer - 2 light coats, 1 heavy coat and I was ready to paint. It took 3 coats of base - again 2 light and 1 heavy coat.

I have finally started the install!

I begin the tear down by removing the factory LS3 intake, LS3 fuel rail/injectors - and TB. This didn't take too long as you really only need one special tool - the fuel line quick disconnect tool - and a set of sockets and ratchets to remove the fuel rail, tb, and the intake manifold itself.

Then I started with the lower blower housing - installed the bolts and torqued to spec.

Then I installed the ZL1 lid/intercooler housing - and torqued to spec.

I finished off the day by installing the fuel injectors, fuel rail, brake booster vacuum hose, TB, and the fuel evap purge solenoid.

When I started out - I only meant to mock up the blower itself - but in the end I almost finished up the entire install!

To continue with the blower install - I installed the STG Motorsports custom front heat exchanger.

I was originally going to go with the ZL1 heat exchanger - and it would have bolted up with some custom bracing - I would have had to move a bunch of sh*t to get it to work.

I would have had to move the transmission cooler - as well as move the windshield tank container.

I installed the CTS-V style intercooler pump - as well as ran the Magnuson IC pump wiring harness.

I installed the LSA front accessory drive - this includes the LSA crank pulley, LSA idler bracket, and the LSA tensioner.

I also pinned the LSA crank pulley - and installed an ARP crank bolt/LSA supercharger belt.

To continue with the LSA install - I needed to come up with an air intake.

Using a few pieces from Spectre - I came up with a design that would go into the fender well where the stock intake routed.


I pieced this kit together using Spectre 4" intake parts - and it went in really easy.

I got this setup for about $150 - and it worked perfectly.

You can go aftermarket - but companies want $400+ for a box setup - that you have to modify!

Your going to end up spending close to $500 for a poor performing intake!

So for the little $$ investment that I have - I am more then happy with the outcome.

I installed an Elite Engineering Catch can on my LSA Supercharged SS.

The install is pretty straight forward - I had to cut the lines to the length that I needed, then assemble the AN fittings - and tighten everything down.

The catch can intstalls between the Blower and the Valley vent tube.

This catch can should help catch any oil coming from the engine and going back into the system by being trapped before the blower snout.

I also instaledl the PCV system - using the ZL1 PCV tube - I connected the drivers rear port, the passenger front port - and connect to the intake tube.

I added a check valve - and plugged this into the 90* Spectre intake hose before the throttlebody. I then plugged in the ZL1 PCV tube into the check valve.

I also fired up the car for the first time! Sort of - the car won't hold an idle with the bigger injectors, new MAP sensor, as well as the Corvette style MAF sensor.

For more info on the catch can - please watch my video below:

Latest update on the SS - I installed the LED DRL harness from Gen5DIY.com.

This harness allows you to enable the DRL LED's to run all the time.

They will run with the low/high beams on - and even work when the foglights are on.

The install is pretty straight forward - take off the front bumper off of the car. Unplug the foglight/drl sub-harness from the bumper - and install the Gen5 harness - the plug the sub-harness back in.

Run the Gen5 wiring through the bumper - passed the radiator - and up to the fuse box.

Take off the fuse box cover - and remove the 20 amp fuse in slot #51. Plug in the Gen5 Add-A-Fuse plug into slot #51.

Trim the box and the cover to allow the harness to lay flat - and put the fuse box cover back on.

I have finally finished the LSA swap on the SS - in this video I get the car towed up to PCM of NC for its dyno tune.

Dyno results where 553 rwhp on a DynoJet chassis dyno.

That was at 7.8 PSI.

I am very impressed with these dyno numbers - honestly I was really only expecting around 500 whp.

The 60 #/hr injections that I installed are at their limit though - so if I go with a smaller pulley or any other mods - I will need a fuel system.

I drove the car back from the shop with no issue - and I am very happy with the results.

Latest update for the SS - I installed my custom build plate that I modified and had made by Signs.com.

I downloaded the 2014 template from the following thread on the SS Forums:
http://www.ssforums.com/forum/exterio...

I updated the template with the information that I received from Chevy Customer Service - and then I modified the template by finding the various logos and putting them in the template.

The template is a .PNG image file that I modified used Photoshop.

I used a transparent background - copied and pasted the black and white logos into - and deleted the white text.

This gave me a black and transparent image that I pasted into the template.

The sign was $23+ shipping from Signs.Com - and it took about week to get.

The install was fairly simple - just drill 4 holes in the sign, and the fuse box cover - and use 4 screws to install it.

I have driven the Supercharged SS almost 500 miles - so I decided to do some maintenance and various systems check on the car.

I checked the oil catch can - saw a bit of oil in it - and I emptied it out.

I was checking to make sure that it wasn't full - and wasn't pulling oil back into the blower or the #Spectre Intake.

I also took the custom #Spectre intake system apart - and adjusted the MAF sensor as well as the cone filter.

When I hastily swapped the MAF sensors at the dyno shops parking lot - I didn't do a very good job lining everything up.

After a few adjustments - the intake looks good again!

I've had a few people ask about my MaxJax - and lifting my lowered Corvette on to it.

Since the Corvette is so low - I had to find a way to get the arms under the car.

I do this by driving up on a set of Race Ramps Scale Weight Ramps, lift the back of the car with a floor jack, then put another set of scale weight ramps under the rear.

This gives me enough room to get up and under the car - and raise it with the MaxJax lift.

I took the Corvette up to a no prep test and tune at Zmax Dragway.

This is the first time that Zmax was open for the public this year. For the street tire guys - the 2 left lanes where not prepped at all.

The car spun through first and second - and I could not hook up at all.

The car ran terrible times on street tires. Next time I am going to get the drag radials mounted - and run on the prepped lanes.

To view all of runs - please watch the video below:



To counteract the spinning through 1st and Second - I decided to buy a set of drag radials and wheels.

I test fit a front C6 Z06 wheel on the back of the SS and the Corvette.

The wheel is 18x9.5 and is a 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern.

I plan on running a set of 305/35/18 Mickey Thompson ET Street drag radials in the back.

I had to drop the fuel tank/fuel system on my C6 Corvette to install the z06 fuel pump.

Dropping the drivers tank is a total pain in this car - I had to drop the tank 3 times because of various issues.

The final time - I actually droped the torque tube/transmission/rear diff to get enough room to get to the tank - and the crossover tube.

I ended up snapping the plastic lines inside the tank - and had to replace those.

you're very detailed with your builds, it's great to see.
I could be wrong but I believe we met last summer at a cars'n'coffee in Mooresville. unless theres another white ss/corvette owner getting around.

Hey Jim - that was probably me. I'm the only modified white SS in the area - at least that I know of.

You plan on going back to Mooresville at all?

I was having issues with my fuel tank system - and wanted to make dropping the fuel tank easier.

I decided to drop the transaxle out of the car - and with that gone - I was able to not only fix the fuel system - but I also decided to upgrade the clutch while I was in there.

The stock LS2 clutch only had 50k miles on it - but I decided to upgrade to the LS7 clutch while it was apart.

With the car torn apart - I also replaced the throwout bearing/slave cylinder, and installed a Tick Performance Speed Bleeder while I was in there.

Yeah sure do, I live in Huntersville but the in-laws live in Mooresville, If you remember, I'm the Aussie guy

I got rid of the last chrome parts on the outside of the car.


I looked into several options including painting the handles, wrapping them, and replacing them with non chrome Caprice PPV handles.


Replacing/painting the handles was going to be several hundreds of dollars - so I decided to wrap them in 3M vinyl.


To wrap the handles - all you have to do is clean the handles off - and get started.


Cut the vinyl to the length that you need - place it on the handle - and use you finger name to push in the edges where you are going to cut.


Use a sharp blade and cut the vinyl out - then remove the excess.


Cut the chrome button - and now you are done.

I remember now! Nice to meet you!

I finally got the Mickey Thompson Drag Radials installed on the C6 Z06 front wheel.

I test fit the wheels - and the clear both the SS and the Corvette with no major issue.

The 305's stick out of the back of the SS a good bit - but they fit under the Corvette with no issue.

The 305 is a bit large for the SS and a bit undersized for the Corvette - but this was the comprise that I have to deal with to fit on set of drag wheels/tires on 2 cars.

I am upgraded all of the exterior 194 bulbs on the Chevy SS with a set of Jtechnow 194 LED's.


The install was pretty straight forward - the LED's fit right in place of the 194 bulbs.

The clutch pedal was sticking last time I went to the drag strip. So I decided to swap out the clutch fluid - and filmed how to do it.

Swap the fluid 3 times or so - and you should be good to go.

PM sent!

I took the Corvette out onto the Road course/Roval at Charlotte Motor Speedway!


This was a charity event supporting the Speedway Childrens Charity - and they had the road course open. For $25 - you got 3 laps around the road course.


For the first section - I drove my Corvette.

For the second session - I rode along in my friends SS.
