Default Ecs sc600 setup

i have a bone stock 2002 Z06 that i am thinking about adding a s/c to. I really like the ECS systems so i am leaning towards their sc600 kit. I also will be adding a set of long tube headers/off road x-pipe. The car is a street car above all else. But i will attend a couple open track events and a few trips to the 1/4 a year. Anyone running a similar combo? Any other parts or options you would suggest? Any track or dyno numbers? Thanks

My car on the Mustang Dyno made 531 RWHP and 476lbs of torque on 8#'s no meth. I have Afr heads, kooks long tubes and X pipe, B&B exhuast no cats, and Billet nitrous cam 236/238/112 (switching that out)

You'll be needing a high performance clutch right away. Also, for open tracking, you will likely want to add a thicker cored radiator.

Other than that, the ECS kit is a very complete kit.
You wont go wrong with their setup. If I ever go to a centrifugal, I wont make the same mistake as the last time. I'll go with the ECS...

You will not be sorry about going this direction. On your stock Z you can get an easy 550-600 to the wheels. Will be a nice setup.

I am an ECS dealer and in Knoxville TN if I can help you out!!

For roadcoursing a Dewitts radiator along with an external oil cooler will be a must
