2001 Z06 Headers and Intake Info.
I just purchased my first Z06 and I love it. However stock is never enough and I am looking for the best parts to upgrade. Was wanting to get some feedback on the best air intake system to go with. I am looking at a few Halltech systems but would love some other ideas. I also would like to put headers on the car. What is the best brand to go with? What size ports do the 01s have. Thanks in advance for all your posts.

I am running the Halltech Stinger, LG motorsports headers and a B&B bullet cat back on my car. I should have some numbers for this on the 20th when I got to the dyno.

The only thing the car has now is an 04 air box lid and K&N air filter. The exhaust is a custom made Chambered exhuast system. The car runs very strong but looking to get good numbers on the dyno. What does a stock 01 get on the dyno?

My 01 pulled 335 rwhp/334 rwtq bone stock. I added a Halltech Tric cold air intake and the numbers jumped to 345 rwhp and 349 rwtq. In that configuration on stock tires the 01 ran 12.14 and on DR it ran 11.94.
For the effects you are seeking, you might want to look for the posts by "ChiefDave" who is doing some modest bolt-on mods to his 01 and has dropped the car a couple tenths into the 11s.

My 01 went like this, no idea what it dynoed stock, or ran in the 1/4 stock. Since I was a cherry, I got some BFG DRs, 295 35 on Z06 chromies and a Vararam and went to the track (after reading the above guide, thanks Ranger!) and ran 12.8, 12.6, 12.5, 12.4. It was NC heat and I git stuck @ 12.4 @ 113. Tried a hanf held tune, and the car fell flat @ 6k, went back to OEM OCM flash and gained a few MPH. The wheather got cool and I dropped a .1.
Added Borla single tip stingers (love the sound) no change. Got the car dynoed and it made 340 RHP, 340 RT. HAd fun with some Cobras, 911 TT and treed a viper
and got many passes and got pretty consistant (not GOOD 
).Added LG Pro Long Tubes, and a tune by Jeff Creech @ CAM, and dropped to an 11.89 @ 118.9, same 60' (1.83 all day). 375 RHP and 373 RT and the car sounds insane
Added some MT ET St radials and ran an 11.82 @ 117.8 with a 1.70 short time. It was warmer that day and the tires where new (learned how to do a full burn out that day and I still kept the PSI a little high at 18 as I was fealing them out and the vagueness on top was a bit 
). Took out a viper that day (did not want to run after he saw a shake down 12.0 @ 118 "You would post it all over the internet ) naaaa.Bottom line up front: get some headers LG Pro
Kooks... a tune and CAI. The Varaam was a PIA to install and is a little cheap and if I did it again I would go with a TRIC, the long one that goes very low and gets cooler air. Tune that puppy to get rid of CAGS, O2 sensors, ect... and set a baseline for your mods. Get to the track with some Vette brothers and have fun! 
I am hoping for a mid to low 11s with bolt ons and a small cam, who knows, I might get some great wheather and get it right and go 11.0 naaa but hey it passes the time here.
PM me if you want any more infoDave
I have an ambitious list of mods for my 2 weeks back in the US in Sep, all in prep for a blower in March (224 228 114, springs, sets reainers ect no in sig yet) trying to build a strong car.

My 01 dynoed 337 rwhp and 344 rwtq, with a Haltech Stinger and DT Supermaxx LT's with cats and a tune from Jeff at CAM I dyno 360 rwhp and 360 rwtq. Only problem is, is that I reach that at just under 5K rpms and it sits there. Need a bigger cam which parts are being assembled right now.
Next round of mods will be a Futral Motorsport F-13 cam, Crane dual springs, pushrods of course, Jwiss chain, QTP oil pump and cover, Meizere water pump and Fluidampner balancer and then get Jeff to tweak the tune.
Dave, I didn't know you were in the 11's man. Nice I'm going to have to put that Spec, DTE brace and shaft in and get out there with you.

Yeah, I here ya. That 11.89 will get me for sure right now. Just keep looking at the SW Z when the lights go green and I'll be okay. 
Get up with me if you have some spare time. I know the 2 weeks won't be enuff though with everyone else, I'm sure you want to spend time with.
As always though, keep your head down man.

I have good memories of seeing the green light and tha back of your car
I just suck *** so bad with vettes and I just can not run with one I am going to be running the corvette challange next year @ carolina (moving to Augusta when I get back) and those guys are going to rape me sooo bad..I had pics somewhere of the last time I saw you at the track and we had the huge Z06 turn out to include 2 SW!!! That is still amazing if you look at the production numbers ect...
I am having fun brother and checking out the forums between work and it helps pass time. Thanks again brother and I will see you in sep hopefully, and if not in sep then feb march for sure.
Dave
