What happens when you hit your goals with your zr1?
Well you build it for more power, duh. 
When I decided 8 months ago I was ready to sell my FBO e85 2014 GTR, to get back into a zr1 I talked to Jeremy Formato (my builder/tuner/friend) to let him know up front what I wanted to do with the car once I got it. My goal was simply to do full bolt ons, tune it on e85, and trap 140mph in the 1/4. Well that goal soon changed from not only wanting to trap 140mph with bolt ons but also get a 9 second slip. I ended up hitting both goals and going 9.94@143mph with bolt ons and on my 19" NT05R's. I also planned the whole time along to take my car to TX to compete in RRII the baby brother event to the Texas Initational. Well now none of that has changed however I did decide it was time for round two of mods! I dropped the car off Monday afternoon back @ Fasterproms in Tampa, FL. for Heads/Cam/Meth....
I am very excited to see what kind of power she will make, and obviously more excited to see what I can do with her on the runway and 1/4! I will keep this thread updated as she comes along!
Dropping her off:
