Help me figure out the best build for my goals
Hey all, I have been trying to figure this out for some time now, talked to a couple shops and have been getting different answers everywhere I go. So I am here for real world answers.
The car: 2017 z06/z07 A8
The goals: 9sec capable street car with no nitrous
The plans:
1: max effort stock blower build. (Cam, heads, exhaust, intake, pulleys, pump gas) meth as last resort and I do not want to upgrade fuel system if possible.
2: f194a procharger, cam, exhaust, pump gas, meth. Again, don't want to upgrade the fuel system if possible.
I am looking for the most cost effective build to get what I want. The other dilemma I am having is giving up the bottom end torque and power of a PD blower if I go to a procharger.
I considered a Maggy 2300 but almost everyone I talk to says not to use it. I don't want to do the Whipple 2.9 do to cowl modifications.
I am open to any and all suggestions you all have.

Do # 1 only chg get the top of the blower from a 2018 car it is better. Then get a bigger tank, plus on the cam 38% more fuel with a good tuner that should get you close if not 2nd set up would be doing a F1X set up on the car with cam & above other with a Circle D converter in the car. Robert

Your going to be making so much power with a Procharger that it will more than make up for some of that really low TQ. PC will deliver a nice linear power curve that will not run out of steam. Theres also more room to grow.

As important as what you do, given your goal, is who you get to do it. No matter how you go getting the right builder will increase the probability of avoiding continuing "develop" expenses ad infinitum. Try to find someone who has done as closely to what you want before... and, done so successfully. All the best!.
