I absolutely love Vengeance Racing...They're stuff is A+ top notch. If I am doing a car, it's going to Vengeance, and no where else.

Any HX upgrades? How is the IAT2? That is quite a bit of blower rpm to still be using the stock Y piece into the bricks.

Is that all? They can still fall apart. I would highly recommend upgrading so you don't have to spend the extra money later on replacing the bricks and modding them again and possibly the blower or motor if they fall apart bad enough. Either the D3PE (Prospeed Autosports now) kit or piece together a custom setup with an ice tank like GKZR1 has. I had the same pulley setup as you on the stock HX and the bricks were modded and they still failed very quickly.

Does Vengeance favor a stock ported snout and K&N FIPK for performance bang for the buck or is this due to the LPE snout being out of inventory ?

This ZR1 has an upgraded Heat exchanger , heat exchanger pump and intercooler bricks. The car is also equipped with methanol injection so IAT2s are not a concern with this particular combination.

I must say dealing with vengeance racing revolutionizes your thought process of how modding a car with a shop should go. Ron and his team aren't oriented with the goal of making a profit. They are oriented with the goal that you leave happy, stay happy and come back happy for more work or maintenance. VR FTMFW!!!!!
