Build is finished!!
Hey guys, I'm the proud owner of a 2017 Z06 that I bought last November. I've had a few posts on the forum, but I mostly just lurk and learn. I planned on just enjoying the car, but quickly decided I needed a clear bra and tint...and a center stripe on the hood.... Then my wife got me a halltech intake...Then I had a friend with a set of Kooks longtubes that he wanted to get rid of.
I enjoyed this for a while. I took my family to Mexico last May and had a few (several) beers and decided that I wanted a cam and blower pulley. A few months and a cam, pulleys, Katech ported heads, head studs, trunnion upgrade, methanol kit, E85 kit, etc, and the build is done. The car is a beast. The torque curve is what impresses me the most. it's got over 700ft/lbs at almost rpms. It's dangerous. I'd like to see what it makes with a ported throttle body and blower..or a procharger.
Right now, it put down 767hp 791tq at the wheels.

Nice results! Now you can help us get respect for the Z06 name plate when you waste a few cars racing them.

Quick idle vid. The car has gobs of torque in all areas of the rpm range. The stock tires are useless. Especially if the roads aren't hot.
I'm anxious to get some drag radials and see if I can get in the 9's.

The sound is awesome. A couple of questions. 1) What cam did you go with because that lope sounds pretty streetable. 2) what shop did the work and tune? That is a ton of power you are making and the torque across the RPM range is insane on the stock blower. Congrats man!!

The cam is a Weapon X stage 3.
