Default Tuner car 3000 mile review

I consider my Z06 a "tuner" car.
My best list for mods for the Z06 puts the car at near 800hp with just premium pump gas. MPG has stayed the same.
Mustang Dyno numbers


The mods performed were.
1. American Racing headers in 2 inch with Jethot coating.
2. Halltech stinger intake.
3. Tony Mamo PTB
4. Magunson 2300 Heartbeat blower.
5. DSC shock controller
6. Mighty Mouse PCV conversion reroutes vacuum from the crankcase away from the blower. Greatly improved function over stock
7. Last and most important a great tune performed By Tom Wong
from Wong's Performance Engineering.

Car runs extremely hard and handles better. Having no meth on board and no high efuels make a big plus for cross country driving.

I have been really enjoying the increased fun from the extra HP. Should be a little more hp over the stock 2019 ZR1.

After driving the car daily for 3 weeks including a 1600 mile trip I decide to leave the car there for the summer . Since I'm returning there to do more work in a few weeks.

It has convinced me to equip my A8 in the same manor which feels well very lame compared. I'm ordering headers and another 2300 today..

The increase in performance is well beyond the dyno numbers.
Increase in rwtq from the mods together is tremendous.
My M7 is just a hoot to drive.

Easy out pace the stock Z06 or the ZR1 for that matter. Not reason to go with a different blower as I like the hood as is.

The 2300 does the job very nicely esp since I'm not entertaining any thought
to beyond 800 hp or so.

Have you had a go with a ZR1 already, or just bench racing?

More than 100 pounds lighter
and the fact of this



Will not be any ZR1's this high stock on this Mustang Dyno.
and the tune time slips with the same mods show 9.7's.@ 140 mph
plus all the data from the runs from Farmers runs and Street 717 's.
Show's the either way A8 or M7 you can mod a Z06 for less than the sales tax on the ZR1!

Plenty of proof is out there just how fast they are or aren't.
and My m7 is more than happy to run a stock M7 ZR1 anytime.
The A8 is the works. Just ordering the parts now. Going to add the blower kit and headers myself. Then get a the tune.

That is very impressive. When it comes to modding this is the route I plan to go. I want a car that will run on straight up 93 octane pump gas.

A 140+ MPH car that runs like it’s totally stock.
