    Vz ss 6.0...

    hey guys, this is my vz ss. it has the L76, which is cammed with a vcm turbo/blower cam, comp cams lifters, upgraded springs, manley pushrods, dod delete, etc.. also, has an ASE t-1000 turbo kit, and an ASE surge tank. just recently, it also had a t-400 and tcm ratchet shifter installed. still hasnt been tuned as of yet, and i havent driven the car for about 1.5 years. . should be ready to race for the march benaraby off street meet and the points round the next day. hopefully.


    idle video...


    the powersteer cooler and trans cooler.


    the shifter. ill put the rest of the plastics back in when its home again. maybe..


    no exhaust, just side pipe. and screamer. will have a 3.5inch exhaust made up when i am closer to re-registering it.



    engine bay. no filter, just a metal flyscreen gauze. i also rerouted the pcm through the firewall, and when i get it home will use some small brackets to fix it into place better.


    so hopefully, by this time next month, it will be home, tuned, ready to race. then it will be saving for some weld draglites, 15x4 for the front, and 8.5 for the rear, then just have fun in it.

    Tough mate. Wish my 6.0 Z was white instead of black. Bet you're hanging out to go for a drive.
    Mines only been off the road for a few months and I'm itching..

    thanks guys. i cant wait to drive it. was hoping to race at benaraby this month, but money is a bit tight.

    there is a guide on this forum about how to move the ecm. i basically used that. i added the different things i did to that thread. wasnt overly difficult once i got into it.

    Pardon my ignorance but what advantage does the ratchet shifter have over the OEM type? And would ashifter like that go on the 6L80E gearbox?

    i have a full manualised t-400 3 speed auto in it now, the ratchet shifter is for a 3 speed and also ensures i wont jump from 1st to 3rd. plus it looks sweet
