A big thanks to Ben and his crew at Weapon X for their hospitality yesterday in Cincinnati. Very nice facility and they took all the time I wanted to answer my questions about my upcoming build & tune at they're shop. Ben has probably patiently answered at least 10 e-mail inquiry's from me since June. I also got quick shipment and excellent pricing on the parts I bought and have already installed on my 2016 Z06.

Yes, I agree. Good people, I regularly visit even though I haven't been for a few months.

I have not yet got the chance to personally meet Ben, although we have exchanged many emails and a few phone calls and he seems like a good guy.
A couple of weeks ago I had to jet on down to their shop to make an after hours delivery of my car before the first snow hit us. John was super cool and very accommodating in allowing me to drag him away from his personal life to meet me back at the shop, it was very much appreciated.
My Z06 is currently in their shop getting the 900X kit installed.
They definitely know their s#!t and left me at ease leaving my baby in their hands.
I can't wait to see and hear the final result.

You're actually about wrapped up already Jay! Just waiting on the valve covers to get done and hit the rollers

what sort of upgrades are you guys getting from Weapon X?

For me it is relatively mild by the standards of what they are capable of. I had already installed a AFE intake, Borla mid pipe, Fasterproms aux intercooler tank, Fasterproms thermal spacers, Fasterproms ram air duct, and a larger intercooler heat exchanger most of which I bought from Ben. Weapon X is going to install a 18% lower pulley, Catless down pipes, port the SC & snout, Install my ported 95mm TB, replace the upper pulley with a griptech, install a Alky Control pre boost injection kit with a rear tank & dyno tune the car. I really like the option Ben suggested of the rear tank which fits in one of the rear cubbys and is hidden. Never did like using my WW tank for meth injection on my 08 Vette.

that build sounds like a mid 9** plus!!! Post the results!!!

That's awesome Ben.
I'm getting super excited to see and hear the final result, damn Ohio winter is going to make it feel like forever till I can actually put it to the test. I'm ready for a total transformation in the Z's performance department....650HP just wasn't enough to get the job done .

Jstew and my build sound incredibly similar, I won't hijack his thread though.
Once mine is finished up I will go ahead and post a separate review and breakdown of parts and results, hopefully with some pictures and videos.
It should be pretty rowdy on the factory blower

Kind of the same here. My car goes in Saturday 12/15 and I am sure with the holidays it will be sometime in January before it is done. Gonna be a long wait until warmer weather again. Had some questions about why I didn't go ahead and put LT headers on the car. Given my goals I just couldn't see the extra expense for the relatively small gain over Norco down pipes. If I was looking for over 700 HP I would go for the LT's and a cam but I am not. I felt a set of 19 X 12 rear rims and 345 30 19 Nitto NT-05 drag radials would be a better investment for track days. Better to learn how to handle what Ben & crew are going to get me now than go for more.
