Fast intake, headers, underdrive pulleys might get you close on HP#s but you are not going to get the torque, even if you did you will still be slower because of the weight difference.

C6-zo6
I have upgraded my C6 suspension to provide much better performance than A ZO6 (Koni adjustable sport shocks, adjustable sway bars and much better tires. To improve my straight-line performance for road racing, I am thinking about the following three options:
APS twin Turbo's
LS7 engine swap
modify my LS2
Which one would work the best for road racing and be the most reliable. I'm also thinking of upgrading to 3.9 gears and a Callaway shifter.

Weigh your car then go weigh a Z06, What I have personally seen is a difference that is closer to 100#. Yeah, it does make a difference. What makes the most difference is the Z06 large fat torque curve, it is difficult to get the same type of tq curve on a 6.0L or 6.2L without FI, plus the fact that the Z06 revs to 7K rpms. Once you actually get to Z power levels I suppose it comes down to 2 factors
1) traction
2) drivers

I know, put them on a scale.
My C6 1sa (2lt) weighed 3207 nearly completely empty. GM says it weighs 3179.
It s lighter now with headers,brakes,wheels, But I have not had it corner weighted again yet.
Either way go find a 440whp C6, race a stock Z06, let us know what happens.

With Mods Only A 4.10 Can Compete With Torque
Yes mods like ported tb & manifold + LONG TUBE HEADERS
along with all you have will probably get you there around
450 HP . The z will still have a TORQUE edge, but if you get 4.10 gears
you will have the "MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE" giving you the additional torque to win. Considering both drivers are = and both cars hook up the same.
