NA Z mods and advice

Voice59 · 09-25-2013, 06:37 PM

Hey guys! I've decided to go NA. I'm in the process of saving up for the new Corvette Stingray. Going FI and buying it just isn't cost effective. So.... If you guys end up reading this ALL advice is welcome when it comes to building a NA Z. I know there's probably a thread out there on this. But I'd just like a quick reference.

Any input you have on a NA Z without messing with engine internals would be a great help. And hopefully after my deployment next year I'll be posting pics of the Stingray! (fingers crossed)

If there's another thread that has all this info please let me know and feel free to delete this thread. Thanks.

Intake, headers, motor dyne manifold, cat back and tune. That's about it. Maybe a pulley. Not a whole lot to do NA unless you go nuts like navyboy did.

seriously if you think to upgrade your car next year... I strongly suggest you to not do any mod and save you $$ for that new ride which you WILL want to mod and will cost quite a bit more...

Plus you don't have to go NA, you already are.

I thought of that too. However I still want to have fun with my DD which will be the Z. I want a little bit of power and response with it. Maybe I'm asking too much. lol

Awesome..looks like all I need is the motor dyne manifold and I should be good.

Dude stillen gen 3 intakes, Fast intentions tdx cbe, BerkTech High flow cats, Stillen headers, and an uprev tune making about 40whp.

I went with FI CBE, MD ART pipes, Stillen G3 with Z1 PCV breather hoses, Stillen UD pulley. Haven't got to a dyno yet, but I am debating on the M370 manifold before the tune.

So far I am impressed with my NA build.

Headers are also a possibility but I have read that the gains are quite minimal for the cost.

Its fun enough stock. Maybe some wheels, an intake and exhaust, all of which are easily resellable, nothing more.
