As a GM automotive tech, hearing him say that trouble code was a U1000 code, really was nails on a chalkboard to me. Almost any GM vehicle around 2000-2010 that has a starting problem, has that code and some bullshit intermittent gremlins along with it that are not letting the ECM send the crank ground signal to the crank relay.
Yea man, it was crazy. At first I thought it was related, but then after messing with it and found that it was just repeated to the wiring issue. The clutch pedal has t pins into it and horrible wiring from a previous nitrous install, causing all the issues. The fact that the starter was bad also and there were multiple issues relating to it caused it to be a little more difficult to narrow down.
C6’s are nice when they run right. I went through a lot of troubles with my H/C one It’s like impossiable to get these clutches to run right for a long time, and the whole drivetrain falls apart. I think their at there best with fixed heads and longtubes only tuned
Sweet car but 13.5:1 compression means it’s not a street car. That compression is too high to work on plain old pump 93 which means you can’t exactly drive this car across the country since e85 isn’t readily available everywhere unless you are going to carry barrels of torco with you
It's a little more Complex than that. Static compression may be on the high side. But the dynamic compression may be enough that pump gas works for it. Similar to sportbikes. They are 13+:1 and run off pump gas all day.
@@tangerine5781 you could very well be right. But on even the DI injected stuff that Gm puts out they limit the compression to 11.5:1 (although I feel like they are being a little conservative and should have done 12:1). This is a port injected car so that’s kinda why I feel like 13.5:1 is a bit high. I know someone else that built their motor with that compression but they are strictly running e85.
I remember my the first month of having my 01 camaro ss I ended up racing a z06. And not only that I work across the street from Frankenstein and it was one of their cars lol that thing definitely made all of 600+ hp all motor
Got that right, I bought a 10gt500 750hp 3.6KB and a ton of upgrades, but they put fresh plugs in so on my test drive it seemed perfect, then on my first full pull after buying it started missing, pull the plugs and no 8 is smash! Turns out 7&8pistons we’re breaking away pieces under boost and the previous owner sent me pics of them after!! Wasnt that nice of them! Of course never mentioned it before! Several thow later & forged everything, I’m rebuilding it again after lifting the head. Buyer beware! Buy stock!
The reason the gen 3 platform was born was because gm exec's drove two corvettes in the early 90's, one had the lt5 and one the lt1 out of the last grand sport and concluded the pushrods platform had better overall performance. So why would they change a platform that has become legendary like the LS series engine for some floatplane mess.
Yeah... that's definitely one of my dream cars right there. I've got a base C6 that's cammed and all that, 470whp. But it's still not the wide body and it's still not the LS7.
Your car sounds absolutely wicked. I own a really low mileage 04 350z with really cool spec but have been dying to get a c6 next and cam it. Love it man
I can't argue with that. It's definitely /way/ too loud under load but for a non-daily, I'm ok with that. I had burble added too. I'm sure that's beyond stupid loud but it's stupid fun when you're driving.
@@jonr7207 if you're going to cam it yourself, get ready for a pretty big job. You have to take all of the accessory driven stuff off of the engine (except the AC) and push the steering rack most of the way out of the car to even get to the cam. Not impossible just a lot of head scratching the first time around.
I disagree, most the time you'll save a lot of money buying one already fully built. Yeah you'll probably run into some issues here and there but the repairs will not cost near as much as the full build would cost, not even remotely close.
what do you mean? acceleration? driveability? track? to answer your question itll win 3 out of 4. its lighter since no FI and has lightweight parts, will not heat soak meaning it will make the power all the time, however it is much louder and proba ly not the best idea to daily drive
Dude got away with a winner..I bought my 2nd Vette as a all motor project..Car ran great..parts were exactly what he said..Car is still running with out any problems..Sometimes the car Gods bless you.🏁👍
Damn mine was 667whp/648 procharged w a few extras tho wow prob sounded way better then mine My boost was like sniffle level tho i had it low bc i was runnin stock block and was scared w the aluminum thinner walls..if you wanted to boost the shit out if a vette you got the LS3 w the dry sump which easily handled much more
David - I’m heading out to see my family in GA in December. What’s the easiest way to reach you? Would love to finally meet you and your crew! 🍻 I’ve enjoyed your content for a long time now. May have a sleeper car for you to film while I’m there. 😎
Can anyone help me? I’m a 13 year old that wants to get into cars but i have no knowledge of car parts. I do know a i little bit about cars, and just not the parts. I do want this exact car tho i would just need to know the price. 🥲
I had a cammed C5 Z06 on a 250 shot, it made close to 700 wheel on the bottle. By no means was it mind-blowing fast but man that was a fun car. Straight piped with only resonators, it sounded so mean.
With the 13% Drivetrain lost we typically see through the Corvette manual transmission drive line, this comes to approximately 770 BHP, naturally aspirated. 💪 🤤 🇺🇸 When can I get a ride along!? (I’ll come to GA)
