Default **Most Powerful C7 Z06**

For now... and not by much...lol

But like we have been telling everyone. We are still in the R&D process. We worked with Nick at American Racing and installed a set of 2" headers with a 3X3 X-pipe and also one of our prototype race cold air induction systems and of course spent hours on dyno tuning. We are trying to go in steps and test different combinations so we know what parts to put together to offer the best packages in the near future. We are still at factory boost levels, 8lbs down low and peaks at 10lbs at the end of the pull. Here is a dyno graph from today.



Video of first startup. Reving engine to get all the grease and oils out of system. These cars usually smoke for a good 5 minutes after installing a system like this. It sounds awesome at WOT and will post dyno vids for everyone to hear tomorrow.



I think my guys started another post about a group buy so anyone interested in some 2" American Racing headers please do not hesitate to call the shop. We plan to be able to ship 10 sets out around Christmas/new year for a discounted price and FREE shipping. Please call and leave a deposit now so you will not have to pay full retail come 2015.

Nice work, guys.

Thank you for the kind words guys. We were very satisfied with these results and we are just as anxious as you to release our pulley upgrade kit to see how much power she will make with more boost. However engineering parts do take time so we will keep everyone updated on when we plan to start testing our prototype versions. We also have 2 cam shafts in stock just begging to be installed.

Jaime, hopefully we can install and tune yours before the new year! You are going to love the sound.

Great work guys.

I guess with CAI and 12-14lbs we'll see 700rwhp.

This car had our race style cold air induction system as well as American Racing 2in headers. As soon as we get time we will show the gains from the headers alone. Nick makes a great system and not only do they perform but they sound awesome running through the factory mufflers.

Sorry guys, very busy at shop tuning customer cars and did not have time to test headers only. I promise to at least get you guys a video of the car at WOT with headers on so you can hear the sound.

Do not forget to call the shop to get your name on the first 10 sets of headers for the new year. I think we have 8 on the list already so please call the shop today. If you have any questions regarding other upgrades please do not hesitate to ask when you call. We will have a package to accommodate everyone out there.

Most power so far was 664rwhp with LMR race Cold Air and 2"in Headers. We are now in the process of R&D for cylinder heads, porting of supercharger, and cam shaft development. Also will take time to build a complete new heat exchanger setup a long with our upgraded lower pulley to add more boost.


And if thats not enough.....
Maybe Twin Turbo......
