Awesome video. When you were changing the springs you blew some air through some holes and said "be sure to do this." What did that do and why do you do it? Thanks!
I have almost the same setup on my 2011 C6 Grand Sport, except I have a custom grind cam. I love the A&A systems & Andy is a great dude & very helpful with any questions. How did you tune after the install, dyno or hand-held? I haven't watched the video to the end yet, so I may already have the answer.
OG K I had a guy out my way named Dr Phil tune the car..... he did a great job... he used a dyno..... it made around 550 rwhp.... pulled hard.... I now have a C7.... just bought her new a couple months ago.... u can see it on my channel ... it's the latest video.... looking to do a SC install this winter.... think I will be going with A&A again.... yes ... Andy is super cool
F & FC, I saw your latest Vette, congrats on it. I like the satin aqua/teal wrap on it. I agree 100%, Andy from A&A is a great guy! He's helped me tremendously on every build I've done, with my latest being my 2017 C7Z06. I have that monster up to about 925 at the rear wheels thanks to A&A! Definitely add a SC to your C7, you won't be disappointed! The main thing that differs from the C6 to C7, is the interior room. I'm sure you noticed, as I'm 6'2" 200lbs & it was the first thing I noticed, but I still have my C6 also so if I want a little more room at times, I take that one out, lol. Keep up the good work & enjoy that C7!
OG K thank you so much ... I bet the ZO6 is sick.... that crazy power .... congratulations on that one for sure.... I had my eyes on a Blacked out ZO6 but I just didnt want the payment that came with it lol..... but I love them.... maybe it will be my next goal.... I'm going to shoot Andy a call this fall to ask him a couple questions about what I want to do.... thinking Meth and SC... small cam... nothing too lope... lol.... well maybe a little.... but yes 100% .... the C7 is way way smaller on the inside .... the bigger I get the smaller it gets lol
F & FC With Andy's A&A Supercharger you can bring that C7 up to 1000 HP, but for drivability sake I'm sure you want to be in the 700-800 RWHP range. SO that's very easily accessible with his V3 kit. The recommendation I'd make to you is to definitely go with the 10 Rib belt set-up & the V7 YSi Head unit, just in case you ever want to add on, plus it's basically bulletproof. It may be a little more expensive (about $1100), but it'll be well worth it. And you definitely want to add Meth to the build, that's a no-brainer. It'll keep IAT's in a real good range, plus give you some additional HP too. I prefer Alky Control for my builds, Julio (Owner of Alky Control) will custom make your system based on your mods & how/where you want your tank, etc. I'm sure you'll be documenting your build, so I look forward to seeing what you'll do.
I own a 06 Z51 6 speed auto, did you have to replace anything when installing the ls9 cam? Such as push rods? What springs did you go with and retainers? Secondly, have you considered running a meth injection system?
we changed the springs... 918 comp cam... rods and everything stayed the same ... most definitely thinking about going with meth injection.... and a CO2 sprayer for the intercooler... it tends to run like crap on really hot days so the CO2 can freeze the intercooler for more cold air for the intake
OK this is the setup I'm going with, a few questions for u, is this an auto or manual and if auto did u install a stall converter if so what size and what exhaust are u running on this beast bro........thx......I'm sold on a & a
AgainstAll Odds I had and have KOOKS headers and H pipe on both... my old one had flow masters ... my new one is Straight Pipe lol..... no stall on none of them... I like to drive my car everyday ... I did the ls9 cam on the old one... kept this one stock... But I might do a custom grind .... by lil John..... I do eventually want to go with a meth kit
Arctic Vette she is running great... it's getting a ZR1 kit installed... and new paint job.... I just bought a black one last summer with the same set up.... but stock cam.... love it.... but definitely needs wider rear tires... spins like crazy
5000$ its reasonable for this kit,,,,,but you shut find out what improvement it gains,,,,,0 to 60mph and 0 to 120mph and max.speed.....THATS WHATS NEW BUYERS WANTS TO SEE>>>
For the cam & Supercharger it runs in the mid $5K range, then you'll need to tune it also. No other mod will give you 200+ RWHP, the gains are incredible. My C6 Grand Sport went from 1/4 mile mid 12s to 9.8 seconds.
what suspensions you got installed?/for reallracing...need oehlins or atleast kw....because yanksuspensions are crap...same on brakesystems....brembo is no1....this willwood i not trust.....
Mrapplesauce96 we took our time... couple hours a day.... took about a week.... week and a half..... if we worked on it non stop ... we could of knocked it out in 2 days
Mrapplesauce96 trust me when I say this.... SC your car is like night and day.... so worth it..... my C6 is stupid fast.... I could never go back to NA now lol
Mrapplesauce96 what's to figure out? If you want add 200+ RWHP in an install then A&A is the only way to go. I have an A&A on both my C6 Grand Sport & also my C7Z & haven't a negative thing to say about them.
I love watching these old videos! Miss you guys!
Great video, I can't wait to install one on my 60th anniversary.
Awesome video. When you were changing the springs you blew some air through some holes and said "be sure to do this." What did that do and why do you do it? Thanks!
my man drinkin that Tito’s! 👍🏻 might pull the trigger on one of these or the ECS kits come spring time...i love the “THATS IT?!?” line
Dream garage with lift in it awsome. great video
thank you .... so much
Mike Wood
I wish I had one for sure..!!
cool video, thanks for documenting. hope to get AA on my C6 soon.
Good job guys, not a whole lot of talkig just doing, good closeup documentation!!

OG K thank you for all that awesome info ..... you just made me so excited lol... I'm so ready to start the build .... be ready for next summer

Meth injection is a must for this, I have an Alky Control kit on both my C6 & C7Z, and it'll balance the build & give you cooling & extra HP too.
Excellant video. C5 A&A kit here!
thanks so much.... hopefully many more to come

how is she running? the good and the bad? any overheating issues? update vids of the car? great vid, thanks!
Arctic Vette she is running great... it's getting a ZR1 kit installed... and new paint job.... I just bought a black one last summer with the same set up.... but stock cam.... love it.... but definitely needs wider rear tires... spins like crazy
Fitness & Fast Cars you going to get Nitto or Toyo or MTs? I have 315 rear R888s on a base now they are pretty good.
Arctic Vette not sure yet... going to look around ... do some research
you should buy the 3 racetronix harness pieces to complete the fuel system correctly
Lots of good lean stuff in this vid.
Why use an LS9 cam i do not know.
To not have to upgrade everything else that comes with the cam kit. Literally throw the cam in and tune.
Very nice
👍🏾💯
Did you dyno this car?
OffRoadRN yes.... made around 540rwhp on a real dyno..
What do you mean by a "real" dyno?
OffRoadRN meaning it was not a Mustang dyno... the same setup on a Mustang dyno made 585...
HOW MUCH THE FULL KIT COSTS?:::WHAT A BEAST>>>
rick dereaux can't remember Exactly... just under 5.... free shipping... ask for Andy... he always hooks it up
5000$ its reasonable for this kit,,,,,but you shut find out what improvement it gains,,,,,0 to 60mph and 0 to 120mph and max.speed.....THATS WHATS NEW BUYERS WANTS TO SEE>>>

this kit to ship out europe and bail out at customs and install ,tune it ....costs 10grand $ for me...
Great vid..but who the hell puts flows or wutever they wer on a vette🤣
About how long did the install take?
Mrapplesauce96 we took our time... couple hours a day.... took about a week.... week and a half..... if we worked on it non stop ... we could of knocked it out in 2 days
Thanks for the reply, i'm trying to figure out whether or not i want to supercharge my car
Mrapplesauce96 trust me when I say this.... SC your car is like night and day.... so worth it..... my C6 is stupid fast.... I could never go back to NA now lol
