I agree Ant. Something seems amiss unless you couldn't get traction. I have gone against 3 Z06's and once I get into second and hook, it ends quickly. I have to feather the gas off the line too just to maintain traction. Second gear is where I pull on them and just keep pulling.

My mods are:
ECS Novi 1500 (no restrictor plate)
Alky single nozzle (100% Meth)
ARH LT headers with Cats
Manic double clutch

Everyone needs to remember that not everyone is running the same setup, octane, etc.

Did your tuner turn off the knock sensors or adjustment and keep them on?
Knock sensors are still on but not as sensitive.

Sorry you appear to be having some issues. I know the tuner will be able to see what's going on in the top end but I'd also give Julio a call. When I told him my 600rwhp goal, he hands down said one nozzle. In fact we debated one 10gph or one 15gph. He said some people seem to over spray meth. Tell him your psi and hp and see what he says. Since you have dual, maybe two 7gph off ebay will do the trick. I think dual 15's are for 1000hp range. When you go full boogie, two 15's may be too much for 10 psi. Another thing to double check is to be sure your MAF is not getting wet (prob not but just something to consider). I like the idea of getting some new ET/trap speed. Who knows what THAT Z is rolling with??? Keep us posted!

I noticed on my car that at 6800 rpm it seemed to be breaking up too, wondering if the plugs are shot at 13k miles.
Yeah your RPM limit is 6500! Your hitting the rev limiter!

I believe he has a cam so his rev limiter is probably set higher.
