Re: Atlanta Two Vipers tag team one EB Z06 (opticZ06)

Osama Sean,

There are many ways to interpret this. First, we should look my way, perhaps then your way, or perhaps another way. Praise be to Allah. What is your Fatwah? Is it to destroy all...

Re: 2002 exhaust rattle (turbo)

It's coming from the engine, but you hear it through the exhaust. I'm thinking it's the exhaust valves now.

Re: Pros & Cons of putting a 3.73 in the ZO6 (TTRotary)

I would do gearing before engine work any day. Adding gearing is the same as adding torque. A 3.73 is 9.2% lower gearing, so if I'm making 348 rwtq on my '02, and I am, the gearing change is like...

Re: Halltech Sidewinder w/ new Z1000 Filter Makes 364.8 rwhp! (RG in Dallas)

Couple things help make more power IMO

1. Cut a hole in the shroud so I can use the TRIC when I go to the track
- This cooled the airbridge from very hot to cool, by dropping underhood temps,...

Re: Halltech Sidewinder w/ new Z1000 Filter Makes 364.8 rwhp! (lundgren)

SOTP diff is huge. I nailed it at 3500 RPM is 1st, and spun the tires through 1st and most of second before it got so sideways I had to lift off.

Re: Worlds greatest drag race (kewlbrz)

To be fast, you need high torque, and high HP (plus low weight & good gearing). At low RPMs most engines make more torque, which is needed to "push the car" forward. When torque runs out, you need...

Re: Low Oil Warning on 2002 Z06 (Ranger)

Did not wait until morning to check the level. It came on as I was getting the rear of the car on the dyno. Did not go away when we parked it level and let it sit.

Low Oil Warning on 2002 Z06

Just got a low oil warning on my '02 at 1642 miles. Considering that my '01 burned a quart every 500 miles, I guess this is an improvement, but not a total solution.

Hiyield,

What does the exhaust rattle sound like? Is it "tink, tink, tink tink" when you let off?

2002 Exhaust Goes tink, tink, tink when lift throttle

I have been noticing that I get a fairly loud "tink, tink, tink, tink" from the rear of the car when I lift throttle on my 2002. Have not heard it on other '02's, but ran into another '02 Z06'er at...
