Good people at InTune. Except for that long hair Fellow. LOL J/K

I put down 291 RWHP, 307 RWTQ at Intune.

 

I had my Z dynoed there also. 100% stock with 3000 miles it put out 272rwhp and 292rwtq.

Chad

 

I had Mac's and Offroad pipe,CAI Lid,Ported Mass Air flow ends and 56000 miles when I had mine dyno.

Your also has the Z06 intake by default,I have to pay $450 for the same extra 6hp you get for that thing. Want to trade? J/K you would have to be on crack to make a trade like that.

What kind of mod sdo you have on your Z now?

 

This should be a pretty good race Saturday...I think your 4.10 gears will do me in though. ; )

Chad

 

Not if the tires go up in smoke, I be seeing your tail lights.
Hard to get traction most all the time.

 

We can go from a good roll...I think my rear end is about to go out again anyway. heh...

Chad

 

either roll or dead stop or both, I am easy to please.

I tought you had that fixed!?!

 

Herb Adcox says that it is normal for the rear end to whine, pop, and rattle. Since they said that it has started to make grinding noises...and every once in a while it will start making a noise like someone is cutting glass.

I finally got the parts and labor sheet from them in the mail. Where it lists the problems with the car it says plain as day that the 3-4 gear shifter fork needs to be replaced. I specifially asked if they replaced it and was told by the head guy NO. I can't find a shifter fork listed anywhere in the parts list.

If the dealership has the car for 10 more days in the next year I can start talking lemon. All I wanted was my car fixed...All they want to do is slap band-aids on it until the warranty runs out.

Chad

 

Maybe you guys can tell me what this means...It says on the sheet that the rear differential case and side bearings were worn...It also says that the case and side bearings were replaced.

Does that mean they replaced the entire differential housing...But used the same old worn out ring & pinion? Under the parts section it lists 1 case, 2 bearings, 1 wheel RR(What's that?), and 10 bolts for the differential cover.

Chad

 

Somebody correct me if am wrong but,the ring and pinnon should be ok unless teeth are broken or worn.

I have no idea what a wheel RR is.

I will try and find the part number for the shift fork tonight in my Tremec T56 manual.

Here is a link for upgrade parts for later after you have gotten a Dealer to fix you car.

The pinion bearing has already gone out once before...the rear was making terrible roaring noises at anything over 30 miles an hour...You could feel it all through the car. Instead of replacing the ring & pinion they shimmed it.

Now it looks like they have replaced everything except for the ring & pinion. heh...

BTW...Thanks for that link...I'll hang on to it.

Chad

 

Chad,

More than likely, they replaced the diffential bearings and the differential itself (the case). I bet they did use the same ring and pinion gear, to keep from having to set a new gearset up. The RR is probably the reluctor ring for your ABS. You only have one ring where traction control equipped cars have two.

Herb Adcox is a joke. I wouldn't even let them work on a matchbox car.

I will call you later, I need to tell you something.

Kevin

 

Hey Kevin,
Where did you have your car dyno at?

 

I had it dynoed at DynoLab in Atlanta. Its worth the drive to get on a DynoJet, plus the guy that runs it is very cool and you can sometimes get a couple of extra pulls in there.
