Default I went crazy...

Well guys... I just went crazy and ordered a Nitrous Express EFI wet kit (175 shot) for the Z06...

I still need to pick up some misc. pieces to round it out, but I should have everything I need in a few weeks. I still need a window switch, bottle warmer, fp gage, and some fittings. This baby is supposed to be bang for the buck hp, I just hope there isn't more bang than I can prepare for...

You might need a bigger fuel pump for this size shot (I think 500RWHP is about the limit with stock)

Racing season has been over here for two months. I bought the Z06 last month. I've got a Halltech Stinger from the GP "in the mail" and '04 Z06 shocks sitting in the closet. I have done CAGS and shorty black antenna, though...

Besides the intake and N02, I'll probably drop in a Walbro 255 or a boost-a-pump. I'm getting HP Tuner cable/software and a Hurst shifter. Other than that, I'll probably keep it stock for a while.

Depending on how it holds up, later I'll drop in a better clutch/flywheel and probably get a brace and output shafts for the diff. I'm going to wait a while on headers in case one of the vendors comes up with some really cool turbo setup. Two grand for 30 hp from headers just doesn't seem very bang for the buck'ish...

Hey this is Bobby (93TAWicked1 from LS1tech) Congrats on the purchase!!

I'm going to do the stealth II cam, headers first. Then a clutch then the gas so I'll be playing catch up as long as your bottle is full

Did you get a tracking number for you Stinger yet? I haven't heard from Nate in awhile and have not gotten a response to an email I sent him

I saw the charge for the stinger on my bank's website on Monday and I got a tracking number today. Mine should be in Saturday. I decided to go N02 first to keep my options open. I'll probably do cam and headers eventually.
