Default Vortech Supercharged Z06 gets some Katech updates

Bronze valve guides
Katech Ti/Mo intake/exhaust valves
Katech CF splitter, undertray, brake ducts
Katech CF side skirts
Katech CF spoiler
Halltech GT2 hood
Katech carbon fiber valve covers
Dewitts radiator
Brembo brakes
OZ Ultraleggera wheels
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires

We had to custom fabricate some airbox parts to seal it to the hood, but the Halltech GT2 hood fits this system surprisingly well. This combined with the Dewitts radiator, elimination of front EOC, and airbox sealing should help this car run much cooler at Track Attack this year.

Ill be adding some Katech and Halltech love to my car as well in the next few months. Been wanting to see that hood on a black Z for awhile now.

They're selling faster than we can make them at current prices.

It wasn't on the dyno this time around, but when it was re-tuned here about a year ago it made about 600rwhp.

I forgot to mention that we repaired the cylinder heads with bronze guides and Ti/Mo intake/exhaust valves.

Looks great. Only question I have is, could the intercooler sit lower so it doesnt show the uneven bottom of the unit? That should also help with cooling and flow to the intake no? I bet you that Z is a blast around the track!

There is a lot going on in that area and not any room to move it down any further.

The customer took delivery of the vehicle and has reported a 23 degree drop in coolant temperature.
