Wow love that solution. Cleanest I have seen. Looks better than the ZR1 solution. I love that the hood scoop is functional. You should simply sell the hood and front facia (with holes precut). I would actually paint those screens carbon flash though.
No, it has problems at high rpm’s for minutes at a time... track use or hardcore street use. Now if you’re in 95 degree weather stop n go traffic for 2 hours straight I am not sure.
Mine has said check coolant then goes off but after coolant reaches 205 degrees my heater was blowing cool air with it turned up high heat 90 degrees but finally started blowing warm air
Funny you say that. Ford has been making great autos for decades why GM cannot is beyond my understanding. Ford and GM worked together to design the 10spd Camaro tranny. I hear it is great. Thankful to have what I have tho.
What also helps.....don't run these cars into the ground. Enjoy them but also take care of them. They are very expensive. Maybe some can afford to replace them every few years. Go easy and take care of your vettes guys.
im looking into getting a c7 z06..... what would be the result of running 60% water mix in the car. my understanding is that the water does the cooling and the rest of it is the corrosion inhibitors and antifreeze. Would a 60% mixture ruin those properties?
Great question! Changing the mixture from 50/50 to 60/40 over a two gallon capacity will really make no difference whatsoever. In fact, it is the plumbing routing and heat exchangers architecture that has the most dramatic effect on cooling ability. Even running 100% water is not going to have a dramatic impact. We recommend you stick to the manufacturer recommendations and if you are running your machine hard to make sure you keep your coolant system well flushed and clean! Thank you for asking!
Excellent question! Because we did not crack open the engine our modifications affected only breathing and cooling there should be no issues with the engine or transmission warranty. (Service Manager used to be a GM Field Engineer)
shame. That is a lot of modification that will not be shared to all z06 owners. Wondering if the blower itself is to small and inefficient that causes a lot of overheating.
The shift points on the automatic are very well programmed. Plus, the car learns your driving style and will actually shift differently as it "learns" the driver!
Hey Shav, I love a good manual as much as anyone. But with this cooling solution only I’m 1.5 seconds per lap faster in this car than a similar manual Z06. And I’ll generally run whatever gives me faster lap times. Love my manual tranny, but love saving those seconds more
Glad to hear our Corvette enthusiasts around they country have access to solutions that help them get the most from their vehicles. Our goal was to make sure we stayed with GM parts and found a solutions that should not impact any warranty claims.
LG is great and has tons of experience but the mods they propose mean more intrusive cuts than this. Also, the price is not less if installed. Furthermore, the LG setup is a race focused setup and I don't think it helps low speed cooling such as heavy traffic. Still, I would trust LG and these guys both.
Great job with the modifications and putting together a very informative video. So happy I have a C8 ordered from such a capable dealership.
Thank you!

We would be happy to build one for you!
Does the Z06 have problems with overheating as a daily driver in the summer 95-degree days in city driving or in sto['n go traffic?
No, it has problems at high rpm’s for minutes at a time... track use or hardcore street use. Now if you’re in 95 degree weather stop n go traffic for 2 hours straight I am not sure.
IF I get for my 2017 Z06 M7, what water and oil temps should I see on 25min track session in Texas?
Would getting the plans for this be possible?

Yeah the real solution is just to get a manual as Chevy intended

@@nyplantingsgardendesigners5645 Yeah the 10 speed is pretty good but manual ftw
Fixed problem and looks better. Awesome
Well, bought a 18 C7Z with 9k miles.
I should send you my car! I'll never get it done on my own.
We would be happy to help! Contact our Service Manager Jim Lamtman for details. 440-232-2000

How much weight did these modifications add?
Well, think of 3 gallons of water plus another 15 lbs in coolers etc.
Not too bad it is all sitting down low.
Nice job guys.
On the fence for c7z or ZL1
Nice mod.
Are these parts for sale
It doesn’t matter auto or manual anything with a blower will heat soak …

I understand if anyone changes the tune on a Z06, chevy will not honor their engine warranty. what about this cooling upgrade?
Excellent question! Because we did not crack open the engine our modifications affected only breathing and cooling there should be no issues with the engine or transmission warranty. (Service Manager used to be a GM Field Engineer)
@@TimLallyChevrolet ok cool, any updates about selling this kit?
@@JerryCecco Send an email to jlamtman@timlally.com . He's our Service Manager and part of the team that created this solution.
How much for just that hood?
shame. That is a lot of modification that will not be shared to all z06 owners. Wondering if the blower itself is to small and inefficient that causes a lot of overheating.
Do what I did buy a manual transmission
Solution: get a manual cmon son

Nothing new here LG Motorsports in Texas where it gets really hot, has been doing something like this for years, and for less money!
