Right now I'm running a 224/240 116+5. About to swap to the BTR Red Hot cam though.

@ that’s exactly what I’m thinking about getting, I wish there were more choppy supercharger cams with a lower LSA but I guess that’s just something you can’t have with a centrifugal supercharger system

@@baileymeasells6325 Yeah with centrifugal blower cams you need quite a bit more exhaust duration than intake duration and trying to get that with a tight LSA without having too much overlap is impossible. My current cam literally has 0 overlap which was fine when I had the little P-1sc1. But with the D1X, I need to evacuate the exhaust a lot better. The Red Hot h as 8.5 degree's of overlap and has an earlier intake valve close so I suspect it will pick up power through the entire power curve.

It's a 347 with forged rods and pistons, ported 243's, BTR equalizer, LS2 throttle body. I'm still tuning it, albeit slowly. Hit 20lbs today at 6400rpm. It should make 900whp with E85 and some timing thrown at it.

Like an in depth build rundown? That sounds like a good idea! I'll work on it, thanks for commenting!

@@C5Z06CarGuy ya man I waited a year after you posed that teaser vid... Hoping to find out more as a fellow c5 owner!

@@sniperpronerfmods9811 Sorry I've just been super busy with life stuff, house projects, family, regular vehicular maintenance. I hope to put some stuff out there soon though.

@@slick408 it’s got forged rods and pistons.

Thanks!

No, its a belt driven centrifugal supercharger (procharger)

Definitely a not a turbo lol. I am my own mechanic and it's my car, I think id know. lol

@@craigthescott5074 Thanks! I’m still sorting it out but it should make 750whp on pump gas, 850-900whp on E85. Sometimes I wish I would have stayed with a simple NA setup lol.

@@C5Z06CarGuy Yea but that’s a big difference in HP. I was also thinking about switching to E85. Are you tracking you car or street only?

@@craigthescott5074 Street and strip. It's been awhile since I've been to the track though.

@@C5Z06CarGuyisn’t that a little too much power to be running with the ls6?

@@baileymeasells6325 It's got forged rods and pistons and soon to be Trickflow GenX 215 CNC heads.

As you should

Used I'm guessing?

@C5Z06CarGuy yes but barely. It was a good deal. I only paid $400 it came with 15 round mag and the 10 & 13 rounder. Came with optic ready slide and and the regular slide. Both with night sights.

That's like saying a fishing poles main purpose is to cast bait, and then calling it a bait caster. Then ignoring the fact that it's also used to manipulate and control the bait, and reel in your catch. I don't care what people label the lever or call it. But it's both a slide lock and slide release, because those are both it's main purposes.

@@C5Z06CarGuy it has to lock the slide before you can release it. Locking is the primary function: while checking the chamber or staying open on the last round. Not all are designed as a release. The M&P 2.0 cannot be released, only by racking over the top.

Thanks! That means a lot coming from someone literally working in the automotive design industry. I actually prefer the pop up headlights, I really did it for weight and aerodynamic reasons. The weight savings I got from switching to the Stealth Light Cannons, offset the added front end weight of my front mount intercooler. The light difference is pretty substantial too. I don't do it much these days, but in the past when I would do late night street racing, the pop up headlights made the car feel a bit unstable at high speed due to front end lift.

Bought it in 2012! Even if I became a billionaire, I'd never sell it.

Thanks! I'm doing some WOT tuning now, I'll be posting a pretty good POV driving video of some pulls within the next couple of days.

Wow thanks so much! The only thing left I plan on doing aesthetically, are CF sideskirts to match the front lip. Then I think I'm going to leave it alone.

@@C5Z06CarGuy oh nice will be cool, and for sure it’s like perfection

If I was a rich man I would buy every exhaust system on the market and just rotate them every so often.

@@C5Z06CarGuy Im with you on that. Id ideally like to do some kind of custom valved setup like drivehub did to his C5.

The Corvette's suspension is adjustable so you can raise it up, but they just look funny after you do it. They definitely struggle a lot more with ground clearance when compared to the Mustang. As for convertibles, besides the C5 and C6 Z06's, even the coupes are actually targa tops. Btw i'm a fan of Mustangs too, I have an SN95 4V Cobra i'm working on to be my daily :)

@@C5Z06CarGuy I didn't know the Z06 had ride height adjustment. I had seen some with airbag lift in the front, if I recall correctly, but that's about it. Does it come with coilovers or something? I gotta ask tho why'd you ditch the popup headlight they were my favorite part of that car lol

@@Greatest_Scott It stems from the Corvette having a transverse leaf spring that rides on a bolt for each side. You can turn the bolts to adjust the ride height, and you can even install different bolts if you want more adjustment. Most often people install bolts that allow you to go lower. I went with these headlights for better aerodynamics at night, they dramatically reduce front end lift. Weight reduction (11 lbs per side if memory serves), and better light output.

@@C5Z06CarGuy hey thanks for all that information. I literally switched from your video to a C5 ride height adjustment video where they showed exactly that hahaha. Seriously appreciate you I never knew that One thing that I was left pondering though after watching them lower the car by increasing the bolt length, wouldn't that put a ton of extra pressure on the bolt? I guess they designed it in a way that it's not a stress point, but that looked kinda scary. I forgot about the leaf springs, that was part of my decision for the Mustang - "Do I want Live/Solid Rear Axel or do I want leaf springs? 🤔" Haha I went with the LRA Mustang because I thought it would be more ideal for launching street lights. The way those Vettes launch though, makes me think they might have a better chassis for putting the power down. I think I can fix the problem with some 10.5" rear wheels. What size wheels /tires do you run just curious?

@@Greatest_Scott You're welcome! So I wouldn't think the tensional force would change at all when you adjust the suspension, I've never heard about anyone breaking a bolt either so it must not be an issue. One reason the Vette's hook pretty well, is because of their nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution. What most people don't realize, is that starting with the C5, the transmission was moved to the rear of the car. It bolts directly to the rear differential, and the shifter is located on the torque tube and there's a linkage that connects it to the transmission in the rear. So my street wheels as of right now are 17X9.5 in the front and 17X11 in the rear Nitto NT555G2, and my business wheels are a CCW drag pack also with an M&H Racemaster cheater slick.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! They are C4 ZR1 Reproductions with Nitto NT555G2.

Very soon! I’ve got big plans for 2024. I’ve got some minor bugs to address and a lot of tuning to do. I’ll try to post a cruising video with some moderate throttle pulls soon. Thx for the interest!

Is that with a loaded magazine inserted?

@@C5Z06CarGuy It's hard to actuate with or without the mag. When I disassemble the pistol it's easy to actuate.

@@58landmanNot just a mag though, a loaded mag. Is it still difficult then?

@@C5Z06CarGuy Yeah, doesn't matter if the pistol has a mag or not, that little mag release feature is just hard to actuate. It might loosen up after a few thousand rounds but that prob won't come in my lifetime. I can live with it but my other pistols don't present that problem. I'll prob let a gun smith take a look at eventually.

По-моему, да

I will be uploading more this year, I ended up buying a 97 Mustang Cobra for a daily and the engine blew up driving it home. It put me in a bad spot financially which put a hold on everything unfortunately. As soon as it warms up I'll be getting tires on the Vette and it will get it's WOT tuning.

@@C5Z06CarGuythat sucks man. That has happened to me once before, I understand the frustration. Well, hope it all works out for you.

Yeah they all have different names for it. Glock actually refers to it as a "slide stop lever" in the owners manual.

LOL yeah for whatever reason I wasn't even interested in buying on of these little shields until I saw it in FDE. Such an attractive little gun.

Yes it is. Just depends on what the manufacturer wants to call it. Heckler & Koch calls it a slide release. Others don't. They all do the same thing, it locks and or releases the slide.

Yep, problem is there's a lot of people making youtube videos about the shield, saying that it's ONLY a slide lock, and not supposed to be used to release the slide. Their confusing comes from it not being easy to operate on a brand new shield, and the instruction manual labels it a slide lock.

Sooo I have an m&p 2.0 9mm and an m&p 22 that doesn't have this issue . So why this one?

None.

Yeah, hopefully I can turn it off with HP Tuners, or ground out the connector like they do on the GTO's.

Thanks man, It's got about 200 miles on it right now. Got a car I'm working on for a friend blocking my garage atm so I can't get it out and drive it. But I'm definitely going to be posting more and better content in the future.

LOL

Yeah I can work on that. I'll reply again and let you know when I post it.

@@C5Z06CarGuy does it all fit under the hood?? I thought the D1 doesn’t fit

@@caddytrader Oh yeah, the brackets mount on the the end of the cylinder head and to the water pump. The blower doesn't stick up. P1, D1sc, D1X, F1A, they all fit.

@@caddytrader th-cam.com/video/lt_m0ACWvEs/w-d-xo.html

It was from autometer. I think it's been discontinued because I just looked and it wasn't listed anymore. Glowshift makes one now though.

@@C5Z06CarGuy thank you! Looking to get an A&A kit next year

@@jakef.9526 Mine was at 550whp trapping 129-130mph for a few years. Ran out of ring gap at around 630whp after pulleying the P1sc1 down and doing heads/cam/intake. If you can wrench I'd suggest opening up the ring gap with a factor of .0065 on the top ring and .0070 on the 2nd. Get the TI upgrade, and the 8 rib secondary drive and let it eat. If you think your gonna want 800whp+ the YSI is what you want. I went a different route. I started with a Procharger system, and upgraded with A&A's bracket. Running a D1X now, and it's a killer blower.

@@C5Z06CarGuy Damn. I was planning on the V3 Si unit, with possibly 80# injectors, but I might be able to get away without doing the injectors and just doing a fuel pump hotwire kit that A&A offers. Currently only have a CAI, long tubes, and a catless corsa axleback. The car was dynoed by the previous owner and only put down 386 to the wheel, it's a z06 but I expected more. Only had 60k when I got it, put on 9k in 6 months 😅 I really want to shoot for mid to high 500s so that I can get used to that power level before going further down the road.
