Yeah, That seems to be the approach im going to take. Ive been sourcing parts and just going to drop it at a machine shop to have them put the short block back together and reassemble the rest myself.

@@Yellow_Car_Bad good point! Goin to do so!

@@TheWolfMatt thanks!!!

@@mcm95403 it’s definitely tedious. I’d say the dash to remove was about 2 hours.

😂

It was relatively quick to be honest. Maybe an hour or so!

@@SloJoeRacing cool thanks!

Thanks! I connected the lav and taped it to the logo on my back bumper that way I can leave the wireless mic in the trunk and not risk losing it down the road, but you can also just run the wireless mic outside

@@SloJoeRacing Thank you a ton man! I’m excited to try this once I get my new car!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks!

yeah ive been in convo with shops, techs and others and putting together a plan thats best for me and the car. Likely option is going to be to remove the motor. Have a machine shop go through it and then I can reinstall it in the garage, but sending it someone to do all the work is still on the table.

@@SloJoeRacing amen to that

Do you have contact info for RPM and where they are located? I have a 2013 Z06 with ~ 5400 miles and contemplating a valve job or mod.

@@doughooks7411 I believe it might be this Race Proven Motorsports 19 Lukens Drive Suite 200, New Castle, DE 19720 Tel 302-798-4000 Email sales@raceprovenmotorsports.net

@@SloJoeRacing Awesome. Thank you Sir, and good luck with your Z!

That indeed is a true statement!

That’s awesome! You ordered their crate or your took it to them to do the work?

@@SloJoeRacing took it to them. its actually there right now lol

Oh a cone lol

😂😂 yeah

Harbor Freight goign to sponsor us when were done with this unit!

Thanks!

😂😂

Thanks!!! Will do!

Thanks!!

That’s awesome to hear especially since I only need mine to put out sub 600hp I know I can trust it to be reliable!

😅😊😊😊​@@SloJoeRacing

damn bro mines at ahp rn im only getting mine to 500 whp lol

@@exoticolors9953mine is also there right now lol. Cant wait to get it back. Ported stage 4 fixed heads and the rest stock.

2 on both analysis that I have done. No increase in titanium levels.

@@SloJoeRacing that's good , that's very important as the rods are coated and high Ti is big concern..what about iron levels ?

@@jayd1008 iron is at 28

@@SloJoeRacing mine the same...your sample seems ok except for the copper ...stop using low grade api oil with bare minimum zddp levels and more imp use the correct wieght oil ! ...and see how she runs then and report back!

Before I switched to the 50w I was running Motul 300v 10w40 but my oil pressures were already a concern. Changing to another brand unfortunately isn’t going to change te outcome that the motor has to come and get refreshed. I definitely will look into the brands you recommended once the motor is refreshed.

@@SloJoeRacing the car is speced for 5w30 the and the ls7 has tight tolerances you need to stick with 5w30 and a good quality brand as mentioned earlier , this is reason for copper , the bearings are starved of oil .. BTW look up Race proven motorsports in DE they are best for vettes .

lol I’m going to need more than my Z06 to keep up when you’re boosted. Getting a more reliable car is definitely being considered, but I just love this car so much. I have a few months to make my decision. Hopefully it will be the right one!

@@SloJoeRacing it was hard when I sold my Mustang with a bunch of suspension parts and I took the L on it.. It was so humbling going from a fast car to this 224 hp car I now have but it taught me everything I know over last few years. That new type R 🚀 😎

I agree with Phelps. You don't need new to get warranty. You can get CPO. That's why I did with the Pcar. However, the C6Z is a legend. Your motor issue isn't a big deal tbh. Just money. I'm doing a LS7 build right now myself

@@David-kl5ln yeah, their is a 99.99% this LS7 is getting rebuilt. I just love the experience every time I’m in that car and I think changing to anything else will not match what I feel with this car!

Yeah, Ive spoken to Katech and I’ve done some light shopping. My goal is to a put a thorough plan together with some individuals that know what’s best for these LS7’s and set up a good reliable build. This car has fought me quite a bit but I’m optimistic that after this journey this car will be locked in!

😂😂😂 it’s all fun.

Yeah im lucky here in south Florida. Champion 4x4 has a machine to do it and both of their locations.

@@SloJoeRacing yup, you are lucky! The shop who did mine quit doing it. They had my 36 x 14.50" Swampers riding like BFG All-Terrains. It was fantastic.

It really depends on what im shooting. Since I mainly use it for my car I believe im like -9 or more. During just talking heads since I talk a bit louder im about -3 on the receiver

@@SloJoeRacing with the old settings with cable, DJI mic 2 RX for Sony cameras was +9, but I noticed with that same setting with the hotshoe adapter it comes in lil hot. But I still need to boost in FCP.

@@AJCoReTV What camera are you using? I've found with my Sony a7c that it has translated audio pretty low or lost connection, so ive been relying more on the cable than id like to admit.

@@SloJoeRacinga7S3

Yeah so far it only supports dji2

Yeah I saw about 10 degrees down on temps. Car remained around 210 while with my stock I was just about 220

Ok awesome I’m going back and forth between this mishimoto or a Dewitt’s?

Hopefully! Let me know how it goes!

Totally agree!

Absolutely. The truck is still running towing around his race car from track to track. 70k miles and running.

If I removed the fuel pump relay yeah.

Hold the accelerator pedal WOT when you push the starter, the car will not start when it cranks. Verify on your own car but that's how I prime mine.

Yeah for sure! Ive heard of that. Never tested it but other Z guys have mentioned the same.

@@SloJoeRacing my ND Miata works like that too, but 1 time it didn't so I don't do it anymore lol

@@B14CK_H4WK LOL, yeah thats why I thought about just removing the fuel pump relay. Im scared the whole wide open throttle idea back fires lol

Not anything noticeable on downforce. Definitely will say its helped with cooling a bit.

This is awesome! Excited to hear about your first experience tracking it! Absolutely you can start with just the rear. The LG hooks are great and I believe you can buy just the rear one to start.

Thanks!

When the oil temps get above 200 degrees a 30w is way too thin and can risk lack of lubrication. I used to run 40w and went up to 50w to test. This car is primarily a track car doesn't see too much of anything else and GM calls for heavier weighted oil on track so doing it to help extend the motors life with more lubrication.

@@SloJoeRacing my oil Temps never get above 190 5w30

Always appreciate the feedback! I 1000% need a seat. Looking into upgrading brakes as well. Im currently on the LG GT2 Coilover set and swaybars any thoughts on those?

@@SloJoeRacing if you’ve got that, then you’re good to go. Then really you just need a seat/harness and a BBK, and you’re good to go

@@jwb4bb Thanks man! We will back out June 9th where im going to have a great fiend of mine with much more experience than myself ride along and do some coaching. Really looking to improve my lap times.

@@SloJoeRacingAnother thought, what are your swaybar settings and coilover settings? If they are too stiff, you might be breaking loose way before you should be due to power, you'll be bouncing around and constantly fighting traction. I run my swaybars on the middle hole and so far so good, but I don't have coil overs either. I really think brakes and seat/harness are gonna give you a massive boost in confidence though. Tip on the harness, make sure the shoulder straps transition from 2in wide to 3in wide to fit in the channels your HANS. (NEVER RUN A HARNESS WITHOUT A HANS!! A head on collision will break your neck and likely kill you.) Also make sure your harness lap straps tighten by pull UP not down. Pulling up to tighten is much easier when you're crammed into a bucket seat, there isn't any room to pull down due to side bolsters of your race seat and the center tunnel in our cars. Just some more thoughts I had as I was taking a piss at 2am this morning. lol

@@jwb4bb Yeah my sway bar settings are at the middle level as well, but ive never looked at what my coilover settings are. I'll be visiting Sebring raceway in June so I plan to review all my car settings before going out. Also getting a track alignment to help with turn in. Definitely wont run harness without a Hans.

Absolutely!

Using Dji Mic 2 and enabling the 32-bit float.

Thanks!

Thanks dude!!!
