Default My CMS Built 06 C6 Z06 build thread

As some of you know, I lost a LS7 due to a bad exhaust valve, after a long patient wait, she is back stronger than ever. Picked her up yesterday late afternoon and can't stop smiling driving this beast again. Decided to go with Cunningham Motorsports to do the build for me. The car has great manners driving around town/highway, turns into a complete animal once you are pedal to the metal. Wanted to thank Ryne & Crew for building me an amazing C6 Z06! Here's a run down of the parts:

Stock LS7 Short Block/Pistons
WCCH Stage II Ported Heads w/ CHE Rocker Upgrade, SS Exhaust Valves, etc
CMS Custom Mild Cam
BTE Racing Dual Springs
Ported FAST/LSX Intake Manifold
Nick Williams 102 Throttle Body
ATI Dampner

What I already had on the car
Halltech KB II
American Racing Headers 1 7/8th's w/ Cats
C6Z Muffler Mod

Here's a clip of my car on the dyno getting tuned

Very nice! I'm getting a similar build minus the headers, you live in CA? How do you pass smog with the headers?

Awesome!! A healthy h/c Z06 is the way to go on these cars. I'm on my second one now.

567/506 (2.5* overlap on cam)

Maybe (~) 114 or 115 LSA? Don't know. Don't know lift numbers either. Nice motor.

Thanks man, she's lowered on stock bolts turned all the way, I also have the Doug Rippie DRM Bilsteins.

Yeah, I'm in Orange County. I doubt it will pass the way it sits, but should be okay with the stock exhaust manifolds.

Thanks so much! The wait was well worth it and couldn't be more stoked

Thanks man, it was 567/506. Going back in a few weeks for a clutch upgrade, definitely going to need it

Thanks man! Not sure about those numbers, I'll leave that for Ryne to answer.

Thanks man, honestly, it behaves very nicely around town. Feels pretty similar prior to the kaboom but now with a added insurance, more power, and one hell of a idle. I'd recommend this setup to anyone that wants a nice power gain without much sacrifice of drivability.

Ryne had no issues with going with an Underdrive?
I would think with the extra power and additional heat there may be cooling issues in summer
