SUPERCHARGING our Corvette C6 Z06 Supercar Killer!!

Pro tip: as someone who had a blown C6Z and later blown (up) C6Z. You can do the crankshaft pinning without dropping the cradle using a longer drill bit. Check out the ECS supercharger instructions. Also please run that puppy on E85 or 100+ oct fuel. Its not a matter of if but rather when on these boosted LS7s

[@biggiesmalls7939]

Yea any time I see a stock ls7 bottom end getting boosted , my stomach drops. Fun as hell though for the time being.

[@johndc2998]

They drop valves stock.

[@johndc2998]

I would never go boosted ls7, those walls are so thin for 100more hp just do heads and cam it’s around the same price and you fix the valve dropping issue

Yeah if this thing drops a valve I wouldn’t be surprised. These things need to have headwork done, especially when modifying the motor.

My LS3 dropped a valve in cylinder 7 two weeks ago. Getting heads rebuilt with BTR parts and also ported and polished. Shot happens

The best part about the c6 z06 is the naturally aspirated engine. Superchargers are awesome, but I think this was a bad move. You could easily make 550+whp with a “budget friendly” heads and cam package.

[@killakali9845]

Cant make 600+ na and still be on pump gas. I made 680 on e85 on my stock motor c6 drove great and sold it. Still on the streets driving as we speak with new owner.

The supercharger doesn't change the geometry of the engine. Meaning it will not cause head wear or valves to drop. Valves dropping has everything to do with the machining and valve guide wear. Not a supercharger.

[@erod6468]

@@averyr18 this particular supercharger is trash, will barely add power and definitely not worth it for the moneys. Better off with a good set of heads, cam, fbo's, intake and a good tune. Can easily get into the 600's on a cool budget.

[@speedlife301]

You can’t go over 700 whp with the stock pistions and you can get close to that with a good heads and cam intake package and it will be faster power for power than the boosted set up. You also need to to replace the valve stem seats or the valves will drop destroying the engine .

I have an 09 E85 build it puts down 1100rwhp. The amount of work involved not only to the moto but to the tranny, diff, torque tube, axels was crazy.

For anyone wondering why no heads/cam (excluding valve guide fix). With a heads/cam package it won’t be CA legal which is a huge part of this giveaway. CA considers heads/cam to be part of the exhaust/emissions system which cannot be modified unless it’s with CARB EO’d parts. To my knowledge there isn’t a heads/cam package with an EO#. Also, since they’re a shop in CA building a car (so publicly) they can get a huge fine for breaking CARB rules. You’ll notice a LOT of CA based channels are focusing more on aesthetic mods over engine stuff for street cars because of those gnarly fines. Way she goes.
