Default What does it take mod/money wise to trap 145-150 mph in a zr1?

Just sold my 575rwhp c6z. Thought I would hold off for 6mos-yr and wait to see what c7 looks like-but I already have the itch(it's more like a disease!)
My car was about a 135mph motor car at 2900lbs. It also had a 100 shot if ever needed. I'm going to need a car that traps an easy 140mph+ OUT HERE IN VEGAS to top that. I am really impressed by the Lethal performance z trapping 150mph! Stock c6zr1's trap 122-123 out here. Maybe I should have asked the question how much mph would I pick up?
Not really a 1/4 mile racer, love doin the highway rolls. So what mods will I need and how $$$ am I looking at?
Thanks

My car has already seen 135 mph trap with a buddy driving it after a 15 min cool down in 90* weather. I only have a 2.35 pulley, heat exchanger, K&N filter, meth, gutted cats and bassani exhaust. Car weighs 3300 with half a tank. If I threw a race gas tune on there I could bump timing by about 5-6* also could throw a 50 shot on there if I wanted.

Cam kit
intake
snout
upper
lower
AR headers (Yes they gain power)
Option:
RPS clutch (Because we could not get the ZR1 clutch to live long at track)
Tune
e85

You were able to run e85 with the stock injectors? Also did you do the headers after the cam or before and how much power gain was there? And what size headers?

Yes the first 9 sec pass was on OEM injectors and yes they were wayyyy maxxed out. FIC 1000 now.. 1 7/8 netted 715 rwhp 2" netted 735 rwhp

1 shot one kill. Everything done at the same time. Other than header swap. And the only reason that happened is because the headers we got where defective so the 2" was ordered as an upgrade since we allready had to take them back off. Heads are sent off to be redone. Lets see what a heads an cam ZR1 can do!

I think 150 in vegas from a Zr1 you will need at least 800whp ,

We know you can shift like a ****.. that should be an easy 9.6 car.

My car will be going up for sale in January

Looks like with full bolt-ons/cam/e85/dr's the lethal car picked up +17mph from stock to full mods in the same month/driver/track-not bad. Looks like about $20k In parts/labor
