Mild APS TT ZO6 numbers..
Finally got a chance to spank our Z on the dyno. Boost is a mild 6 psig as the motor is forged and built for some abuse. We initially had 12 psig springs in the car and it was very violent on the street! 
so we backed it down to get the tuned sculptured in!
After some more break in we will be bumping the boost to 16 psig.

650
Now a days 650 RWHP is right there with alot of us here at the forum. I use to have 520 RWHPwith the P series procharger and that was a monster on the streets. I had "GREED FOR SPEED" and went with a build and I now have 757 RWHP. I know that I am done but there is always that thought of putting NOS on my car. Luckily I can't as the wheelchair wouldn't fit in the back with the NOS brackets. They say there is a sneeky pete NOS system out there that would work for my car. Of course I'm looking at that right now to get that dyno number over 800 RWHP. A quick shot would do me right

Well we had the 12# springs prior and the car was undrivable! We put the 6's in for tuning baselining and will get back up to 15.
Car feels incredible with the current power levels. The 345's are still no match for the torque but its not a shocker! I always advise my customers that there most certainly a threshold of too much street power and this is getting close. This is my own personal car and will be featured in GM High Tech Magazine in the next few months so we went a little nuts!
Torque rules any car. We all enjoy being smooched into the seats!

Custom ground turbo camshaft, stock LS7 intake. The kit is only sold as complete for the ZO6. manifolds to tail tips. We used everything except the mufflers as I wanted to retain my B&B FUSION system for sound control. No cats but we are going to fabricate a set of Dynatech units in just to get rid of some smell. For the power loss, considering what another 4 psig will do.........I don't really care!
RAM Dual Disk clutch with there new billet slave, LGM Carbon Fiber drive shaft and everything else is stock.
I think that summarizes it!
