'05 Vette build thread

[bonecrrusher]

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!

Parts Used:
Elite Engineering E2 catch can - w/G8 bracket - http://amzn.to/2s5qQgT
Spectre 4" 90* - http://amzn.to/2sEUEh1
Spectre 4" Black Cone Filter - http://amzn.to/2r7egbD
Spectre 4" MAF Sensor Housing - http://amzn.to/2sEWluY

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.

Tools Used:
Race Ramp: RR-SCALE-2 http://amzn.to/2sKXIHT

I have had a lot of people ask me to put together a parts list/companion guide/how to - for the LSA swap into the SS .


In my newest video - I go over the parts list/install companion guide that I created for the LSA install.


I have listed all of parts that I used, prices I paid, and where you can get them.


In the companion guide I go over each section of the install and provide notes for each part of the install.


For more information and the links to the guides - please watch my video below:

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.

For my test fit please watch my video below:

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?
