Default Ordering UPP twin turbo kit, what else do I need?

I have a 2001 Z06. Currently has upgraded driveline parts, trans, rear, clutch, ect. Small ECS blower cam. Im ordering the UPP kit, fuel upgrade, and meth kit. Anything else I should consider? Im hoping to break 600rwhp. Thoughts? Opinions? Thanks.

If you run the Alky meth kit, make sure they know you have fender mount turbos. Your meth kit will utilize a meth tank mounted in the trunk as opposed to the standard kit using the windshield washer reservoir. Other than that, everything comes in the UPP kit. I opted to add header wrap and PTP turbo blankets just for peace of mind. I also had UPP send a SD I take pipe with the methanol bungs and IAT bung already installed.
CK is also fantastic with helping during your install. I'm in the middle of mine now and he has been a big help answering my questions.

Thanks for the tips. Ill be taking everything to a shop to have it installed and tuned. Installed my own procharger back in the day but not really interested in tackling this, plus I really dont have the tools right now anyway.

On a C5 the windshield reservoir is mounted under the hood not in the gender well area. The UPP C5Z I'm currently working on is using factory reservoir we just mounted the pump in front bumper area instead of fender well. Had to order longer feed line to meth pump but that's it.

That would've been nice to know when I ordered my kit. When I talked to alky and told them I would be running turbos in the fenders, they told me I had to use the rear tank setup since the pump had to be within a certain distance of the tank. I haven't installed mine yet so I may look into that.

Shoaf, does the C5 you are working on have the larger 6182 turbos? Is it a recent kit or an older style?

Are there different versions of the kit? Do I need to make sure I get a certain version? Obviously I want the latest most trouble free version.

It is the most recent kit they made as far as I know. Showed up at my shop 3 weeks ago. It is with base turbos tho !

As long as you buy from Underpressure or any of their authorized vendors you will get the most up to date kit.

My car has one of the kits and been through one revision, either way I think you will be super happy, right now im getting a forged 6.0 built for my car and swapping in the larger turbos and going for gold!

You shouldn't have any issues coming close to those dyno #'s. My 5871 base kit is daily driver capable at 10#'s and over 630rwhp.
