Default Happy New Year!!!

Hi everyone im newly registered to this forum, I just want to wish everyone a Happy ans safe New Year, I myself has purchased an 01 Z06 and am looking to hit the 1000rwhp mark some time this year. You dont know me but ive made 1000rwhp in a 95 M3 full street car, a/c, p/s fan clutch, stock fuel tank, so.... I figured a Z06 2 more cylinders shouldnt be an issue once im all done and completed. Looking very foward to learning and also giving advice to this forum.

The thing is ive built many car, ive been in the automotive buisness all my life, I have a shop, and when you look @ the price of a used ZO6 and add 8-9 psi, simple blower kit, VIOLA 200rwhp improvement, as if it was a Porsche it would cost 25k, for such an improvement, I know its not a porsche but who cares, bring it on, I could find other performance enhancements with the extra money and put $$$$$$$$$ in my pocket @ the end of the day. I really wanted a Viper GTS, but hehe the price of the ZO6 I ran accross, I cannot loose, besides I will make my ZO6 in a Viper killer, im not afraid of pushing the limits and taking things to the next extreeme, that is one thing you guys will learn from me.
