I have a stock 04 Z06 except for the Blackwing exhaust. What would be the best setup and cost for me if I want 475HP+? I would also like it to be an every day driver. I drive it maybe 2-3 thousand miles during the summer months. Driving or shipping the car down to you would not be a problem for me. I live in Wisconsin and own a condo in Naples. Thanks...

DT,
To upgrade to the C5R block would add approx $4000 depending on what I can find one for. We have done quite a few with them and it is a nice piece for sure. The cost is just a bit over the top for most.
Fastgenious,
The pricing for you on the base package plus Stainless Works longtubes, Random Tech hi-flow metal cats & x-pipe assembly, underdrive pulley, lower temp thermostat, ported throttle body, Halltech TRAP (not a big believer in the Blackwing) and SPEC Stage 3 clutch with aluminum flywheel will be $18,129 installed and tuned. This will get you into a very driveable and dependable 475RWHP area and not have to run the car over 6400RPM. Feel free to call the shop or e-mail me if you have any questions or are looking to get started. We can have you ready for summer for sure.

I have been a supporting tuner for about, oh 3 or 4 years and have actually done quite a bit of work for the owner of the forum Norris Motorsports is the old name and still don't have a new banner made to change it here. That is why I keep Norris Motorsports in the sig.
