As you probably know, Marc H. has a list of gimmicks to drop some weight on the Z. Have you done that stuff?
It would be fun to have a car like the old 2,900 lb. "Snakeskinner", and drop your 350 into it. A definite high 10 sec. car all day long.

I clipped off the mufflers, (same B&B setup you have), like Haibeck does, and gained trap speed , and cut E.T. on my stock motor car.

I have done Marc's weight reduction.

Do you remove the mufflers or do you have a cut out.
The reason i ask, you gain twice one for weight those B&B mufflers are heavy and second is flow.
I think my B&B mufflers flow pretty good,never tested,my system is all welded.
I will test a set of the newer B&B mufflers on the dyno soon.

Thanks Jerry

Those are great runs Pete. Your 350 is one stout LT5.

Did you do a dyno test on what you gain from the water pump and/or the UD pulleys?

Pete,

I know you did a lot of work optimizing overall performance using stock cams. Would you mind sharing what your torque curve looks like with the setup you are running now?

Thanks.

Yes I plan on it as long as nothing happens from now to then. I will be there, my friend with his 02 TT LPE will be there as well. =D>

I did do a before and after with the electric water pump i gain no RWHP from what the dyno showed me.

I never really did a before and after on the UD pullies but i'm sure they help some and i also prefer the rotating wieght savings, they are half the wieght of the stock steel pieces.

I'm still trying to optimize.

I don't have a scanner to scan my dyno sheet.
But right now at 3k rpm i make 332 RWTQ lost some over the stock cams,
stock cams it was 345RWTQ @ 3k rpm now i don't know if the BFG DR's rob some power over the GSC's.
If not i wanna try different cam timing with the bigger Intake cams,something i will do over the winter months.

I removed them. You're right, that SS is quite heavy. I pulled the pass. seat and the spare tire too. It allowed me to get my best ever time of 12.06@117mph.(1.76 -60ft.). Not too shabby for a stock motor 91'. This car used to embarrass C5 ZO6's all the time at my local strip. But I'd like to do the top end, like you have, and go hunting C6 ZO6's
