I know a mechanic locally w/ a procharged 2004 Z06. From talking to him it wasn't too hard to install or maintain. Has enough power that it still spins in 3rd at the drags, he doesn't get the pedal to the metal even w/ ET streets. Clutch is going on it (I think it eats clutches at this level) but no rear end issues.

I'm not sure what he did for custom tuning. But I do know various shops have blown up a lot of engines getting it right.

Let me know if you want his info; I only have business phone so you won't get him now. Best Tuner I know is ECS.

If you can get it at a similar price for a stock Z of the same year jump on it. Many modified cars end up selling cheap as buyers are scared of them. You can end up with a great deal but I'd look at the miles and who did the install as well. Ask the owner how he drove it and why he went with the package as well

Does he have a service record? Good luck!
