M6 bogging issue

Oak78 · 11-27-2019, 02:50 AM

Is there anyway to fix the ZL1 bogging issue when trying to launch? I want to buy a 2018 ZL1 but am holding off until I can find out if there is anyway to fix this. Can it be tuned out with a custom tune or is there no solution?

GM doesn't want to admit a bog issue so the question had to be sugarcoated before they would answer here.

Yes, it can be tuned out.

I think also a ported intake can help. See Soler Performance here on the forums, they have a good one - so it seems.

Really? It is in the ECM? I also avoided the M6 ZL1 which struggle stock dipping into the 11s at Atco. So I got the A10. It was great but not as much fun to me. Back to a manual next year.

My tuner could not solve it on my '16 SS. But my next Camaro will be an M6 so if it's fixed I'm in.

I really don't see what the big deal is. I learned to adjust my clutch usage within 2 months of getting my M6 ZL1. I love having a real manual.

I guess that since I don't care about drag racing this car, this is no big deal to me.

Same here. I see lots of posts about throttle lag and bogging but I have yet to notice any of that. Maybe because our two other cars are gutless?

Does this affect regular SS cars? I have not noticed it yet.

Yes, very prominent on M6 just off idle. The ported TB seems to fix this.

In first gear at low speed blips to the throttle do nothing.

I have learned to live with it. May install a ported TB at some point.

I dont have it either at least the throttle lag.

Bog maybe but thats stopping the tires from spinning because my right foots too far down.

launch it hard enough with traction and it’ll slap you in the face.

Launch control is the way to go.

On my 6-spd, I was experiencing the ‘bog’ issue, unless I rolled into the throttle.
Launch control allows you to dump the clutch, without the bog.

the result using launch control is far worse. at least with regard to getting off the line.
