Default RTC650 Package: Build Thread

My good friends over at Torq have taken care of me and now I am having their ZR1 Killer Package installed on my 08 Z06, I will be dropping off the car tomorrow morning. This package will consist of:

- Torq's own custom grind camshaft
- Kooks 1 7/8 Headers w/ Catted X-Pipe
- Vararam CAI
- Port-Matched Intake Manifold
- Port-Matched Throttle Body
- Port-Matched Heads

We are targeting a conservative 550-600rwhp on Torq's Mustang Dyno, all things considered, I do daily drive the car and it's ease of use with such great n/a power will be the main focus, while still being to run mid-10 second passes in the 1/4 mile. Stay tuned, I will be updating this thread as often as I can!

That's why I said 550-600 ;-)

And she lives! Just getting ready to leave the shop with a few small things to finish up in the morning before it goes on the dyno around lunch time. The car just has our old tune on it right now, which was for the stock setup.
