How does a car that traps over 125 mph all stock do nothing for you?I think you re exagerating a little bit unless your full time job is driving a dragster!Every single person i ever took for a ride totaly freaks out when i punch the gaz pedal so why would you find it boring?Sorry i think you re just here looking for attention.

Stock Zs are boring. I completely agree. 440-450 is nothing these days.
Cam will wake it up for sure. A blower turns it into a whole new car.

Disagree, there are many heads/cam options that will get the OP 600 rwhp naturally aspirated which will BLOW away 600 rwhp with a blower, not to mention the LS7 engine is not a boost friendly motor with its high compression and non-forged pistons. Now I agree with you if the OP is willing to build from the block up a forged LS7 engine built for boost, and then makes 750+ rwhp, then we are talkng about something completely different at those HPower numbers.
OP, call up a shop like Livernois in MI, Straigthline Performance in Plainfield, IL, Vette Doctors in New Jersey, LPE, Katech, etc, many options, and get yourself 600 rwhp in this car, and you will **** your pants over the monster performance of 600 naturaly aspirated rwhp.

Bingo. That silver vette that I had put down 525 at the wheels without the bottle. 625 with... Yes if 450 scares the crap out of you. Thats your thing. To the guy that asked about the dragster. Yes I have some seat time in one.

I bought my 2006 Z06 18 months ago. To be honest the car does nothing for me. I put on 1000 miles on it during that time and it just don't have that performance feel to me. I know GM targeted old men with thick wallets but the thing is like a caddy on steroids. Now the whole dropped valve issues comes into play. One way or the other the heads are coming off and getting sent to WCCH. Now the car is 100% stock. I know these cars react really good to cam swap and headers and CAI. Now to find out just how big of a cam to go with? 575 at the tire to snaughty?
You must be used to some serious cars because I have been racing some really fast stuff for over 15 years and the Z06 is simply a crap yourself fast car even in its stock form.
Maybe something is wrong with it. Go dyno it.

My bracket car runs low 10's and I make over 150 passes/year. My stock 08Z with bolt ons (headers, cold air, Fusions) is plenty fast enough for me on the street.

The only way a LS7 with a blower is faster than a LS7 with a nasty H/C setup is with a built engine and more boost. That is probably farther than the OP wants to go.

You must live the same neighborhood as Wong's Performance. He is doing a supercharger on a 427 right now Might pay to drop in and ask Tom a couple of questions.....
