I have yet to see those results from a stock camaro at that track most of them run low 13's same with the STR8 challengers.

Hey John I want that hood lol. Do you sell them or had to go through another distributer. If so If I bought one would you be able to ship it painted with the Monty blue? Let me know please when you get a chance that hood looks wicked
Frank

does z1 sell that top dawg cooler? is it on the web page yet?

We sell it and yes we can ship it painted.

We will get it on there. And thanks for sending Dave out. Very nice guy!

How much would it be for the hood and then how much for the hood and for it to be painted. I couldn't find it on your web page.
Frank

I will PM you shortly.

I would like this information as well.................

Did you guys just add that because I went all through the website and couldn't find it a day or two ago.
Frank

Yessir thats what we do. You ask for it we get it for you.

Yea man I am going to save up a little more and get that. That hood looks bad ***
Frank

Those pictures it looks a bit black between the vents, was this intentional when painting, lighting?

Yes we left the vented sections carbon fiber and painted the rest of the hood. No special lighting thats how it looks in person..... Awesome!

Ok, was just curious as I thought it was intentional with painting but wanted to make sure.

Yeah it looks the best faded in on black paint. Real subtle. The blue one turned out nice though, I think Red would look great that way as well. Would also like to see on a Platinum Graphite Z.

josh, ive got the same kit and 7sp aswell, our 2nd tuned it to about 340kw but with around 600nm on 11psi, slippage from 2nd to 4th on throttle is really bad,any ideas how we can improve this, like value body or tune or anything? btw i pretty much have the same problems with yours, i've had to use a vented hood and took off the raditor guard to reduce about 10degress, but even still i cant turn on the ac lol, btw my car is a rhd

We just installed a larger rad in our car. Updates soon. Also get that tranny tuned.

We still trying to figure out is it mechanical or can be fix with orisis, in Australia not many pplz are firmilar with orisis , possible to share some detail about the tranny tune?

That's what I get paid to do. j/k PM me and I will help the best I can.

Thanks john very much appreciated, I know a lot of this is trade secret, but any way ill pm you once I get home. Again many thanks

Trying to reach you by phone..........

I have several boxes of TT bits/ goodies sent from Samta, same as Santa, but works with GTM. j/k

Looking to discuss hiring you(r) folks to install the kit.... when is a good time to speak a bit?

Hit me at 770-562-8668.

I think this is a wise decision. More and more I am loving Z1. I know I havent had work done by them but every time I had a question they always jumped in to give a answer and also all there work looked quality.
Frank

So to make the 7AT handle the TT power, you just need to tune the the tranny with orisis and thats it??

no valve body? no torque converter? etc etc?

I would assume you need a valve body right?

You can't just "tune the tranny" to handle all that extra power. Physically, it can't... for very long at least. shumby can attest to that.

yeah I know that, but Z1 says there is no more slippage and what a different after tuning the transmission, So i just wanted to make my self clear.

I've heard of tuning ECUs etc. But can someone please explain what tranny tuning is? Thanks. :confused:

tuning the transmission..

PM the OP he will help you with all ur questions.

PMs sent.

Can you plase give me some updates on " tuning the transmission "

Your nearest tuner should be able to help

thanks:tiphat:

Anytime.

Its my car......I am the owner
 

A few answers: 1. I wasnt running and gunning when the trans problems occurred but this usually happened on longer drives (over 2 hours). 2. John and Z1 do top notch work and this problem is fixed (so far). 3. I am very pleased with the quality of work by Z1 and with the performance of the car. 4. I have about 8700 miles on the car now and the tranny is fine (so far). 5. The car is closer to 500 rwhp after the last Z1 tune. 6. I race locally quite a bit, so the car is being pushed.

All this being said, the car is a beast and has not been beaten yet. Someone said something about a Z06 and I will say I have not raced one yet. I will add that the race will be closer than you might think and my money (and probably Johns) would be on the Z winning. John will tell you that I am a modest guy, not a junk talker. Until you actually ride in THIS car, you have no idea how it feels and runs.

BTW, even considering all the challenges of this install......I would still choose the 7AT over the 6MT for the TT. Not hating....just saying.

Wow, thanks!!

Is my theory correct that the problem is rescaled load values lead to excessive gear hunting, and eventual failure? Or was it something similar like a need to change the firmness of shifts?

If so, then yes, this issue can be avoided with tuning rather than upgrading hard parts in the trans.

Although a bigger trans fluid cooler is probably a good idea...

ECU tuning involves adjusting shift up and shift down points (based on calculated load and probably TPS) as well as shift firmness due to the rate line pressure is allowed to build -- both can be controlled by the ECU to the best of my knowledge.

Mechanical tuning could involve anything from retooling components in the torque converter to spin faster, rasing the stall speed, changing the clutch bands, adjusting the valve body, changing out the solenoid that control line pressure, etc.

That said, I think they were referring to changes in the ECU.

Love this hood!!
