Default Vengeance Racing

Aloha,

I've been having absolutely no luck selling my 2004 Z06. So, thinking about keeping it and just throwing some money at it. Thinking about the stage 3 naturally aspirated upgrade kit from Vengeance, looks sweet and about the power range I'm after http://vengeanceracing.net/packages-c5z06.html. I'd install it myself. Just curious if anyone's running this set up and their thoughts and opinions. Looking to keep it sane on the street and take it to the track every other month or so.

Thanks

Thats a lot of money for basic bolt ons and a cam kit..i say go with a SC kit. You will have a bigger smile and make a lot more power for a lot less money.

I agree, $7k+ for a cam and exhaust is a ton of cash. for $6-7k you can get a blower and make more power.

Vengeance is an excellent shop with an equally good reputation but the price for that kit is asinine if you ask me. You could put together something similar yourself for a lot less $$$ or go the s/c route like mentioned above and make way more power for similar $$$. If you pieced together the stage 3 kit you could do it for less than $4k all said and done.


I see you are in Maui, I'll be there on my honeymoon next week!

The prices listed were installed by VR, and dyno tuned. Alot of money, yes, but what's the price if you DIY install?

I have a quote from them for just parts, obviously a lot less than their full install. I won't mention it here, but it's a fair price.

And don't forget the benefit of them already having all of the parts you need in "one box" and doing the research and development of the parts working nicely together.

I don't think you guys realize that's what it costs all said and done for new top quality parts lol

I bet if a lot of you guys added it all up, you guys would start to cringe lol

Yeah that's installed AND dyno tuned...not to mention some fancy parts most guys wouldn't spend a few bucks on...in the end it all adds up...

I have had higher end builds done cheaper than that. Heck my forged heads/cam/intake ls2 was cheaper and that included install and tune as well from a well named shop.
