I would never consider reusing OEM valve springs with new SS valve. I'm not sure of your full build, but mine used Katech TiMo intake valves, CHE bronze guides and new OEM exhaust valves with PSI...

As I recall the OM suggests if the DCT filter or the DCT fluid need to be changed and if the other is due "in the near future", you should do them together. For the OP changing the fluid at that...

If that is the case, then they charged you $546 to hook up a computer and run your car for 10 minutes. That is what the "flush" is. Hydraulic flush is not a full drain and change of the DCT fluid....

Hib, there is only 0.2 and 0.1" difference in tire diameter between the 18/19 tire combo and the 19/20 tire combo, well within the capability of differing tire sizes. On the C6Z the rear/front ratio...

Back when I had my C6Z, MT discontinued their MT ET SS drag radial in the 20" size due to high speed instability. Even my 325/30-19 MT ET SS were unstable at 140 MPH at 30PSI. They were tolerable at...

The 19/20" wheels and tires are the OEM option on later model Z06s and the tire circumference is very close to the 18/19" combo so that is not his issue.

It would drop from warm idle 23PSI down to about 16. Now 16 isn't bad as far as GM is concerned, but knowing the Ti readings, the history of LS7s and the $$$$$ I already had in the engine, I opted to...
