M’s - Z silver bullet LS1 fun toy

Lol I work in the goberment, so that had me pegged for eventually lol

 

Free replacement battery from Costco is in.

I really wanted to try one of the Exide's from Home Depot, but they only had two dated April 2019 and November 2022.

 

Nice! Home Depot part is weird though

 

Yeah, but lots of HD's if a replacement is needed, price was good and I shop there a lot so

 

Yeah I get that and same.

 

Not much in this front. Washed the Z today despite the extreme heat. Thank goodness for shade. Did replace the hood struts today.

 

Have been driving the Z a good amount. Getting 22 mpg even with a heavy foot lol.

 

I can usually see the fuel gauge drop when I drive mine. The tires smoke pretty bad too.

 

If tires were cheaper lol. I’m harder on it once going lol

 

Figure I'd share my catfish, if I had the room I would own a bakers dozen of them. Anyways OP have you considered gears along with the converter. Your car should have 2.73s if you could find a stock rear from a SS they have 3.42s in the 6spds and 3.23 in the A4s and swap them out or swap gears in your rear end to 3.73s. Either of them would wake the car up with the addition of the converter.


2000 SS M6

 

Very nice! Converter is on my list. My car had some work done. Still sorting through it all. It’ll push the tires just fine as is, I’d still like better rear end as it is a weak one lol.

 

@novanut21 2.73 for a stock gear is pretty disappointing though for even a Z28 I’d say.

 

True they are weak but with your car being an auto there's less shock on the drivetrain making the stock rear hold up little better. I still have stock rear in my car with a set of 4.10s and I'm putting down 550+hp to the wheels with a 6spd, now it is a street car and I don't track it. Also, if you don't know ls1tech.com is a great forum little slow these days but has tons of great info.

 

Dang that’s awesome, that kind of power and gears. Must be a blast. Read on LS1 quite often. As you said lots of good info.

 

details on the motor?

 

Lsx 454 short block
Etp 255cc heads
Fast intake
Comp cam

 

SOLD Today, one less thing to move. I'll miss some things about it, but I never liked it as well as the red 2002 SS with t-tops that I had. I'm picking up another vehicle in January to replace it.

 

Congrats and

 

Pulled my Z out for a bit yesterday and let it idle in the driveway. Ready for spring to be able to drive it again.
