I wonder if that was a C5 or C6 Z06. If that was a C6 Z06, then that is pretty amazing and that guy has had some serious work done on that SS.
Getting an LS1 Camaro to out run a C5 Z06 or a stock regular C6 isn't that difficult. Throw in a new Cam, ported headers, better cylinder heads and you would be over 400 rwhp |

is it really that easy?
i don't know anything about performance upgrades on american cars... do you have links to companys who develop/sell cams, heads, headers and stuff like that? |

Well, there are too many to mention, but some of the more popular manufactures are: Cams: Comp Cams http://www.compcams.com/ Headers: Kooks http://www.kookscustomheaders.com/ LG http://www.lgmotorsports.com/catalog...9dc1c759ad355f Cylinder heads: Edelbrock (manufacture more than just cylinder heads) http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/index.shtml Lingenfelter (performance tuner who also manufactures cam shafts, cylinder heads, etc) http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/p20.html Those are just a few.... there are literally hundreds. |

Working on these engines is not really that hard. I took a stock 350ci out of a 72 vette that I rebuilt and turned it into a 383 stroker. The only thing that I had done was the boil and bake of the block and the machine work. All total I think I spent 1000-1200 on parts(cam gaskets etc.)

That Vette was a C5. Not sure it was a ZO6 or not. (The side mirror and portion of the dash give it away.)
Had it been against a C6 ZO6...now THAT would be impressive. |
