Default My Z06 E85 Macho video

Here is an idle video of my Full E85 Macho cammed Z06. Carlos and crew at Quality Motorsports in Dallas Texas did the work. The car has 13.1 compression, Arh 1 7/8 headers, Fast intake, WCCH porting and stainless exhaust valves, 83lbs injectors, Killer bee II cold air. B&B Fusion Exhaust, E85 tune. The car put down over 600 to the rear tires.
The work was done back in Oct of last year. I have now put over 800 miles on the setup so far. The car has been running great witout any problems . It's a beast.
The crew at Quality Motorsports did an amazing job and were great to work with.

Wow, 13.1 CR!!! How much was milled off the heads to make 13.1? What head gasket?

What all is involved to make a car work with E85?

How is the day to day driveability with that cam, I know with such a high CR will make any cam run smoother at low rpms.

Easy I called Carlos LOL

Not sure of the specs of the head milling or the gaskets used.

Driveability is quite good for such a large cam. Some off throttle buck from time to time but you learn how to drive after a few weeks to prevent 80 percent of the bucking.

My wife thinks it's insane and hates it mission accomplished

Very nice! I noticed how the back wheels stick out alot. Spacers, adapter, or just very wide wheels? Looks and sounds great! Now just lower it a bit.

As you recall, there is more in it but kept it SUPER safe for you until you get used to it further.

My gosh that thing has some pop to it...Oh yeah, its a macho Z now

Thanks,
Carlos

In addition to sounding awesome, it backs out and back in to the garage very nicely with 600 rwhp, and it did it in a very reliable way. It did not break down on that journey from the driveway to the garage.
