We’ve all been waiting on the LT4 dry sump Z blower kit to finish completion! We worked directly with Whipple on the first LT4 wet sump R&D testing, where we’ve conservatively hit 875whp on our Mustang dyno on a stock bottom end and 920whp on a built bottom end.



Until the Z kit is out, we had an opportunity to use one of those LT4 wet sump blowers on a C7 Z06 in the meantime! Collin has been talking to us for awhile about his C7 Z06, having a nasty high HP ZR1 and wanting more out of the C7. He finally had time to make a trip down from Canada to have his C7Z be the first to get this blower

We’ll have a full build thread done shortly, but in the meantime, here are a few pics of the blower product on the car. Shortly, it will have our custom billet valve covers and a few other mods for a stage 1 and upgraded to our X1000 package soon!

Enjoy a few

Did you have to make any changes to the stock hood

Next to when is it coming out, this is the big question, from the looks in one of the pics doesn’t look like the hood was altered.

Sign me up! Ben! Deposit right now! Looks like you need that intake too!

ZR whut? Ouch if you try running with one of these! Be some REALLY cooking Z's with these kits! Holy XXXX!
PUMP gas? Unreal! near 1000hp @ 6000 rpm !!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN!

Can't wait for the build info. I've been waiting on this for two years.

SharkbyteLT4

Congrads on making this happen before anybody else. You guys are a trendsetter..

Now take my damn money!!!!!

I'm getting my comment in before this thread blows up. NICE!!!!!

Wow

What do you need to cool this missile down?

OnPoint

Ah - this is very cool. Look forward to the build thread.

Ben, what's the difference b/n the wet and dry sump set-ups? PCV routing or something else?

Nicely done, man.

VettNoob

Wow!!

Ben@WeaponX

Shockingly the hood closes without any alteration!

OH THREE Z

Amazing results.... and right in my back yard...

I'm interested in seeing how the stock drivetrain holds up with this setup. Are you beefing anything up behind the engine?

Even with the hood parts all stock? This would be great news Ben. Cannot wait!

This isn't something most guys can do in their garage, but did I mention we only started on this build 2 days ago? Your resident Corvette sales rep Eddie@WXM aka CorvEddie did the preliminary work test fitting one on our C7 a couple of months ago to get a game plan, our engineer David handled the pulley design and mill program, and our ever so talented fabricator Kevin handled the heavy work making it fit on the car! We created a program to CNC mill the snout on our VF6 and have a custom pulley for the Z06s along with a lot of other odds and ends stuff to adapt it. The hood doesn't need touched, but there is some modification required, with the biggest thing being the wiper cowl area.

How's the cost installed compare to a procharged setup?

Are you going to release a "bolt-on" kit available? If so, when is the kit expected to be available?


I like the fact that the hood does not have to be modified.

A8s have proved to be pretty strong, but like anything, the trans tune is key using the virtual torque model so the shifting is proper. If launching w drag radials, you will want axles in that 8-900whp range.
