Let’s delve into some high tech tuning talk! The DiabloSport Trinity Corvette Tuner is one of the most advanced C6 Corvette Tuning Devices on the market. With the capability to tune, log and record data, display and customize virtual gauges, read and clear trouble codes – and even compute multiple track times, the DiabloSport Trinity is the answer to all of your EFI tuning needs. Trinity supports all vehicle applications under a single part number which means you have the option to tune multiple vehicles with just one Trinity (Only 1 vehicle can be tuned at any given time). With a high resolution color touch screen, state of the art graphics/GUI and the ability to customize gauge layouts, the Trinity enhances the interior of any Corvette.
DiabloSport takes extensive care in providing it’s customers with the most powerful, efficient, and warranty-safe tuning available. The Trinity’s tuning options vary depending on the vehicle that is being tuned. The DiabloSport Trinity also supports custom tuning and can hold an additional 5 custom tunes. The Trinity contains the most adjustable parameters in the market.
With over 100MB of on-board memory devoted solely to recording and playing back diagnostic PID/DMR data, it allows users to record hours and hours of continuous data streams directly from the vehicle’s PCM/ECM. The Trinity interprets PID and DMR data received from the OBD-II Diagnostic port on your Corvette and converts it into a readable format: A Virtual Gauge! Individual user customization is one of Trinity’s most recognizable features. With Trinity’s dynamic gauge layout, there is literally an infinite number of combinations/customization of gauges to view! Users can even set up gauge alarms and shift points based on precise vehicle data, using the Trinity’s LED lights.
Using parameters such as vehicle speed, peak torque, wheel speed and others, the Trinity is able to accurately compute quarter mile, 1/8 mile or 0-60 and 0-100 time trials. Keep in mind that these numbers may or may not be accurate depending on variables, but they sure are fun to see! The Trinity’s virtual tree allows users to choose to either monitor their reaction time (like the real world) or have the tree start when they press the gas from a stop. There are advantages to both!
Trinity can also be used as a diagnostic code reader. Save yourself hundreds of dollars each year by reading/clearing your own computer codes rather than paying a Chevrolet Corvette dealer to do the same. It’s as easy as a few simple steps. The DiabloSport Trinity’s diagnostic code reader function can be used on multiple vehicles at any given time.

You may have read our recent post about new B&M Six Speed Shifters for the C6 Corvette. If so here are a few C6 Corvette shifter knobs that will install easily on that shifter, other aftermarket shifters and the stock setup as well.
Zip Corvette’s new 2.25″ C6 Corvette Shifter Knobs will give you that feeling and a touch of unique flair for your Corvette.
Shift Knob - Corvette Logo
These new Corvette Parts have been designed specifically for the C6 Corvette, so they not only reduce the height of your Corvette’s shifter by 1″ but will they also allow you to continue to use the factory shift boot mounting points. Something no other aftermarket knobs can boast! Say goodbye to merely “dressing up” your Corvette’s aftermarket shifter!
Knob - Grand Sport Stripe
Manufactured of a composite material, the C6 Corvette patterns, logos and scripts are embedded into the knob and you’ll never have to worry about those graphics disappearing. Choose from several different knob and script color combinations. Knobs are available in white or black and scripts are available in white, black or red. These C6 Corvette shifter knobs mount to the shifter just like the OEM knob and will fit all C6 Corvettes including the Z06, ZR1 and Grand Sport. Each shifter knob is 100% GM Licensed therefor quality will not be an issue.
Check out this brief video of the super easy installation of a C5 & C6 Corvette Rear Hatch Vent Bracket. This high quality latch simply hand twists-on. No tools or alterations required.
Vent Brackets allow for maximum flow-through ventilation while removing cockpit air turbulence and buffeting. Installation will not affect factory alarm or interior lights.
The new Corvette LS7 Edelbrock Supercharger System pushes a stock Corvette LS7 engine up to an amazing 657 flywheel HP and 582 ft-lbs of torque. This supercharger incorporates the Eaton Twin Vortices Series (TVS) Gen VI rotor assembly, the same internals used on the new ZR1 Corvette, an air to water twin intercooler system and dual core heat exchanger. Torque has been optimized through the use of 12″ long runners, while low speed fuel economy is retained through the use of an internal bypass valve to reduce parasitic loss. All of this equipment integrates with the dry sump system and fits under the stock hood without any modifications.
This system includes all of the components needed to support the increased power output of the engine: 60 lb/hr injectors, a high flow air intake system and a handheld programming module to update the ECU. It is designed to work with all OEM emissions equipment and is 50-state street legal (E.O. Number D-215-76). It also includes matching aluminum coil covers that are black powder coated for a great under hood look.
In 2005 Corvette was having a great year. The new Corvette was selling well and it was the first year of the new body style and it was hot, yet better things were brewing for the Corvette. At the end of the 2005 model year the new 2006 models were being shown off and the rumors of a new Z06 were confirmed. Among the many great options on the C6 Z06 Corvette was the addition of brake padlets, which allow each piston to have its own brake pad. There were a total of 12 padlets in the front and 8 in the rear. This design came from the world of F1 and had never been on a production road car. These came with mixed feelings, but they have proved to be very effective.
Another first for the Corvette, which had not occurred since 1982 was that the Corvette used opposing pistons vs. a single side piston. Opposing pistons means that you have a piston on each side of the rotor vs the 1984-2004 style that only had pistons on the inboard side and the caliper slides to pinch the pads against the rotors. Part of the reason for the padlets was to give multiple leading edges vs. just two on the single pad design.
The new brakes were not well received by some, GM taunted the car as basically a street legal race car. There were some who thought you should be able to take it straight to the track as it sat on the showroom floor. For the most part you could, but you would quickly find the limitations of the brakes. However, the problem was not the brakes themselves, it was the pad compound that was the issue. When the proper compound brake pad was chosen the brakes would perform extremely well. The only downfall of the new design was the pins that held the pads in place. The pins themselves were fine, but finding a new pin(s) was a challenge. In order to get new Corvette brake pad pins you had to buy a new brake caliper.
Zip Corvette is proud to announce the addition of the OEM AC Delco C6 Corvette Brake Pads with all new pins. It is always recommended to change the pins when replacing the pads, it is not always required but the pins do wear and it is a sure fire way to keep everything in proper working order. Zip Corvette has a wide variety of brake pads from some of the best companies out there like Cobalt, Hawk and Carbotech and compounds ranging from street pads with little dusting to full on race pads that will require a harness system to keep you from imprinting your face into your windshield. Zip is also a dealer for Corvette Racing Brake Caliper Pins. These pins have a 10mm socket head on them instead of the factory torx or 6mm hex head. This will insure that your brake caliper pins will come out every time.
If you have a standard C6 or even a C5, and you would like to upgrade your Corvette’s brakes, then Zip has an answer for you. Zip Corvette has put together an exclusive Z06 Corvette Brake Upgrade Kit. It includes new GM Z06 brake calipers front and rear, Zip’s two piece Coleman rotors with park brake capability, new stainless brake lines and a complete set of AC Delco brake padlets with retaining pins. Please note you will not be able to install this brake kit using stock Corvette wheels. Zip is an authorized dealer for Forgeline Wheels and CCW Wheels and will be happy to quote a package deal to get your Corvette braking just as well as a new C6 Z06.
If you are tired of burnt spark plug wires due to your Corvette’s Headers? These Hi-Performance C5 & C6 Corvette Spark Plug Wires are built to Zip Corvette’s standards, which means they are built specifically for Corvettes and with the required heat protection for long tube headers.
Zip’s Corvette spark plug wire sets begin with a heat shielded Magnacor wire. Magnecor’s exclusive 2.5mm high capacity Metallic Inductance EMI Suppressed conductor consists of a stainless steel wire precisely wound at 200 turns per inch over a ferromagnetic core. The insulating jacket is made entirely of Magnecor’s exclusive TC-1500-HS high strength aerospace grade silicone rubber, and its single layer construction will prolong the jacket’s insulating ability by conducting extreme heat away from hot-spots that occur near over-the-limit heat sources.
The protection provided from the heat shield guarantees that this will be the last set of spark plug wires you will ever have to replace from header burn. The KV85 8.5mm jacket has a service heat resistance of 600 degrees F (320 degrees C) and up to 1,000 degrees F (540 degrees C) for a short burst of 3 minutes. The R-100 10mm jacket has a service heat resistance of 700 degrees F (380 degrees C) and up to 1,200 degrees F (650 degrees C) for a short burst of 3 minutes. Even if limits are exceeded, the silicone rubber will retain its insulating ability until wires are removed from engine.
Magnecor wires are primarily designed and constructed to be used in applications where it is essential to prevent the possibility of ignition wires compromising engine performance. Modern race engines, modified street engines and stock street engines which rely on electronic devices to control the function of either or both the Corvette ignition and fuel systems are prone to interference from all other spiral conductor ignition wires sold through performance parts outlets, none of which can provide proper suppression for EMI, particularly if a high-output ignition system is used.
Zip Corvette always recommends use of these performance spark plug wires on any stock or modified late model Corvette engine that is electronically managed however most other modified or street engines can also use our performance spark plug wires to improve ignition performance. Fits all 1997-2011 Corvettes with or without headers.
Both the red and blue sets of these Shielded Corvette Spark Plug Wires fit all C5 and C6 Corvettes. These wires are also a great ignition upgrade for your 2009-2011 C6 ZR1 Corvette.
