Default Cold Air Intake,Headers, Exhaust

From what I know, these mode will put you up to 400+hp, this is right with, i(f not better), than the Z. My question is; will my acceleration be as good as a Z, 0-60 in 4s. Will the hp be felt in low end, or high end?

Not quite as good, I think. The Z has better 1-3 gearing which will give it an edge in acceleration providing HP and torque is equal.

Just finished that mod on my 2004 MN6 Coupe. Definite SOTP increase. On the par with a Z, not really sure. If I remember the Z is rated at 405/400 (at the flywheel). My Mod, if I did the math right yields about 398 ponies and 420 torque at the Flywheel. See Signature for details. Good luck.

The 3:42 gearing in the Z06 is like 3:90 gears by the way they are setup. You may be close in HP, but the gears are a little different.

im running vararam, LG headers, and the stingers with a STOCK tune and im putting out 335rwhp, and 355lbs.

def. a SOTP difference, and i dynoed 300rwhp, and 323lbs. stock. so it was a decent gain. still not even 400hp though. stock Z's usually are putting down anywhere from 350-360rwhp. if your lucky, and with a good tune you might be able to get close.

as far running with a Z06, its pretty close. im running the 1/4 in 12.5 and i trap at 115, which is about what the Z06's in the area run.

as far as 0-60, like stated already i think the Z06 gearing will get you. and unless your trapping 114-115+ than the Z06 will still outrun you.
