VIDEO at Idle plus streetability and WOT with my 511rwhp / FTI

Interesting.... I noticed a shift light on your dash display. I honestly have never noticed that on my C5Z. So now I'm wondering if mine doesn't work, or I just haven't been looking at that display when I shift.

Hi Rich Z,

When tuning my car, Jeremy Formato set it up to appear at 6950 rpm to help my shift ar 7100 rpm.

It is a fonction that can be turn on during tuning, at least on the 2002 ZO6.

Hmm... Does it show up in the HUD? That's where I watch the tach anyway....

Hi Rich Z,

I did check if it was showing in the HUD...NOT in my case, sorry.

On my car I get the word "SHIFT" on the HUD. It has always done that.

My very bad for this wrong info in my post above...

You are correct Gannet, the words "SHIFT" illuminate nicely and clearly in the HUD ....I was looking for a light initially

Hope it helps

Don't feel bad; I think I had my car for at least a year before I noticed it! I'm usually looking elsewhere when it lights up. At the road, at the tach, for the police...

A quick update.
On another forum a member asked a question about my PCV set-up...

First time we started my engine it had the Catch-can system I was using with success in my previous set-up, normally mounted as required by the manufactor and having the PCV functional.
It came immediately obvious that my new combo was not liking it (certainly Ed camshaft...), after the warm up, on full blip throttle acceleration there was a huge shadow of blue smoke coming out the exhaust in deceleration...the oil was coming from the intake through the PCV Catch-can system.

Jeremy Formato directely pointed the catch can the way it was mounted and recomended to go for a Cap-breather...it was changed in the instant before going testing on the road, Jeremy had brought one with him.
All the PCV exit lines were sealed with plastic caps he had as well.

Since then I have slightly modified the system, the principle stays the same, efficiency and oil vapors under the hood are more under control vs. the simple Cap-breather initially mounted.

Then the final set-up is a Catch-can with a Breather I mounted on the top of it, 2 lines coming from each Valve Cover and one line coming from the Valley Cover, all of them joining the Catch-can in the part helping the decanting of the oil vapors...no more oil consumption through the intake or smoke on decelleration, no other problems added.

I wrote an anwer on another forum related to the relocation of my IAT...may be informative for someone, then i copy past.

Hi viper,

Building my combo I decided to run OLSD, then the MAF went out of the car...

Reasons were to eliminate any restriction from the MAF if any and to obtain a tune as smooth as possible with a tame idle and the opportunity to set some lean AFR at cruise...which I did.

Taking away the MAF, I was as well taking the Intake Air temperature sensor away.
I had to relocate it...and find the "best" place to mount it.

I have tried in the Air Filter, in the Cold Air Intake (more an Ambient Air Intake if want to be accurate in terminology) and in the same place as the Outside Temperature sensor.

The obtained results at WOT were very similar, difference was minimal and not significant.
Meanwhile I was recording a lot of disparities in city driving from day to day.
Altering the tuning was just a band-aid and the VE table was inconsistent day to day outside temperature related.

I finally opted for the option of mounting the IAT Sensor in the flow stream of the intake, the ERG support beeing a good spot in the FAST Intake:





From there I could dialed a solid consistant VE Table which is bringing me repetability from day to day outside temperature variation.
The algorithms of the Cylinder Charge Temperature and the stock Bias and Filter are working fine from 45* to 98* outside temperature now, and the IAT Sensor is recording a wide range of Temp able to change very quickly for the pleasure of the PCM...
Below are 3 screen shot of the IAT recorded going from Palm Beach to Sebring at 6am.
Three time the same log with the Average log, the Max log and the Mini log to give an idea of the amplitude of the changes:

AVERAGE IAT LOG:



MAXIMUM IAT LOG:



MINIMUM IAT LOG:



Don't ask me where, but I did some over 186mph on this log this morning (I was late...)

My 2003 Z06 shows the light in the "HUD"....The way I drive...it shows up alot.

Thanks to AnteVenom..... we see it around 6600 RPM

Then the Clutch locks up to the floor

Yes.A new one is on order!!!!
