What mod route should I go??
I just bought another Z and am trying to figure out which route to go. I think I know but curious on some opinions.
The car is a 02 with 46,000 miles
Mods currently:
Ported stock heads
Small cam (dont know specs but its in the .595 range I was told)
LG 1 7/8" longtubes
3" non catted X pipe
Borla catback
full varavam intake system
built trans
RPS BC2 clutch
RPM level 2 rear with 4.11 gear
LG motorsports GT2 coilovers
The car needs to be tuned regardless if I leave it the exact way it is now or add parts to it. So might as well add parts
I have 2 options rolling in my head:
1) put a FAST 92 and ls2 TB and get it tuned and leave it alone. Id imagine it would make in the 430ish range.
2) put a blower on it and pulley it for 575-600 range. Im sure something this light is quite fun in that power range.
Keep in mind it already has a 4.11 gear in it so its quite peppy from a low hit. And also, I already have a 1999 Camaro that makes 945 with a blower on it. Not sure I want 2 blower cars but not against it either, because they are pretty bad ***!
Curious on some thoughts here. This is my 3rd z06 so I know a good bit about them. first was a 01 with just a cam, second was head/cam and now this one.

430 HP with 4.11 gears should put you in mid 11s in the quarter.
I would probably get it dyno tuned first and see what it had, unless you want to add the FAST and LS2 TB anyway.

With those mods alone, with a good tune, you should be at or close to 430 RWWP on a dynojet. Add the Fast intake and LS2 TB, you should be around 450 on Dynojet.

If I were to guess I'd say it would make around 420ish now and maybe 435 with a Fast. My old car with a big cam and AFR 205 heads, fast 92/ LS2 tb and somewhat the same boltons I had made 453/411. The new car has a little bit better headers and 3" mid pipe instead of 2.5" so who knows. Kinda a toss up I recon. Just not sure if the $950 for a fast and ls2 TB is worth spending to gain 10-15hp.
420 with a good streetable cam, headers, and Vararam is pretty common.

A blower and 411s spin city . I have 440 HP in my 04 Z spins bad and has very good tires . I good friend just blew his 98 with blower LS-1 ( After 21,000 miles ) was fun for sure the rears breaking loose was the problem at any speed ,I think around 550 RWHP .. Just an FYI..
