GTOFan350

Heres the deal...a guy came into my work and we started talkin about it hopped-up 05 Z06. Basically he has original complete Z06 Heads,Z06 Cam, Z06 Intake Manifold, F.A.S.T. 90mm Intake manifold, Comp Cams Pushrods, and Z06 rocker arms (I believe 1.8's). He said he would sell all this for $1k. My question is how much of a bear would it be to install and get everything tuned right in my '04 M6 GTO?????

Not real difficult, if your handy with tools. You'll need torque specs, which I, or other members would be glad to help out with. You will need a 3 jaw puller to remove the harmonic balancer, and a special tool to reinstall it.
Your 04 GTO already comes stock with an LS6 intake manifold (just a note, if you didn't know already)
An experienced tuner should have no problem remapping your PCM to it's new parts.
By the way, should you want to sell the FAST intake, let me know.

Just thought of this: Isn't 04 the last year for the LS6 Vette?

What about exhaust manifold compatibility?

PEARL JAM

Your GTO's stock manifolds should bolt up without any problems.

Even with the different exhaust port shape?

PEARL JAM

I might be wrong on this, but I thought the ports are similiar enough to work with either manifold.

Ls1: (Slightly ported)


LS6:

So what do you think, install the heads, cam, FAST manifold, and a dyno tune and I should be set?

PEARL JAM

You should be fine, but to be honest, you will get only modest gains from the ls6 cam. I have researched this well,(with alot of help from members of this board) as I just did a cam install in mine, and was considering the ls6 cam, untill I learned about their gains. My advice would be to run the heads and the FAST manifold, but install a more agressive cam.

As mentioned above, it wouldnt be that hard and there is no such thing as a '05 Z06, it would have to be a '01-'04 Z06. '05 is the first year for the C6. The C6 Z06 didnt come out until '06.

sorry, my fault.
