I just wanted to pop in to write a quick review about Weapon X.

I first got into the high performance world with a 2015 jeep SRT8. When I decided to build the motor and really try to step up the power, it was let down after let down with almost every shop I dealt with, from the installers, to part manufactures, etc. After putting almost $40k into it, it made 550whp then blew up again lol.

Needless to say, I got rid of it and bought a C7Z because it was the fastest car I could afford that would be under warranty. Of course 6months into owning it and getting smoked by a few turned up cars, I put a lot of thought into deciding if I wanted to jump back into the high performance world with all the previous nightmares I had experienced.

I decided to give it a whirl. This time I put a LOT of time and effort into researching a shop that I could trust and would be easy to deal with. My search landed me with Weapon X.

I bought some stuff from them about 6 months or so ago. As things progressed I had lots of questions, which route to take, how much was all this gonna cost, where does it end, etc...

I have to say throughout this process they have been absolutely amazing! They provided tons of information, pros and cons of different build strategies, shipped me great parts, helped guide through the build process (even though I am out of state and they aren't doing the labor). Their communication, enthusiasm, professionalism is all second to none. On top of that their tuner Brian has been extremely helpful and dialed in my complex setup remotely and flawlessly. Currently making 1000whp and 1200tq with 0 issues.

They have fully gained my trust back in the high performance world and I have to give my full recommendation to use them if you are thinking of doing a complex build or any build.

Just wanted to share...

 

More info on the set up please. What power are you making boost only? What are you doing for fuel?

 

^^ I am definitely interested in that 2.9! What made you go that route over the procharger? I am about to make that dive myself. Sweet ride and I am also a fellow past SRT8 Jeep (x2) owner loved them Jeeps! Good to hear reviews like this.

 

 

I am in Denver so the elevation allows me to get away with some stuff that you might not be able to for a sea level application.

Car is making 750whp corrected for altitude on blower only. I have 18" lower and 3.25" upper but I am still on 91 pump gas. That is the main reason I went nitrous is that it was an easy way to get more fuel and air into the motor to make up for the 7000+ DA.

Just personal preference mostly. I have always liked PD blowers, love how hard they hit at a lower RPM. Also love the whine vs the chattery metal sound.

The only hard part about the whipple/nitrous combo is dialing in the tune, but as I stated above, Brian at Weapon X is a master as his trade and was able to remote dial me in. Was pretty cool to see actually. I was doing passes at the track with HP Tuners plugged in and it was connected to the hotspot on my phone. He was able to see live what was happening, adjust the tune, etc...

 

Great, thanks for all the info and your recommendation on Weapon X. They seem to be taking the lead on the ZR1 stuff too.

 

Ben is good people. C7&7 and I met Ben at TX2K18 a couple months ago. Good guy..

 

Thanks for the review, I was curious about this shop as I live in the Cincy area and in need of a shop that could tune my Z06. I am on the fence about these guys as I've seen mixed reviews on the ATS-V forums.

 

Doy you have anything else for fuel besides the nitrous? Cam? Meth?

 

No stock CAM and no Meth

 

Thats pretty killer that it made 750 on the stock fuel system!

 

 

Nice setup and nice talking to ya

Mine will be ready for dyno soon
