C7 of Year Finalist (performance mods) 2019
Sure thing. Post #2 above. Yes, AFM was tuned out.
Along with all the other parts - plugs, wires, boots, gaskets, etc. I'll look for the invoice tonight and post it.
My 2019 Z06/Z07:
AFE Intake
NW 103 TB
Ported Blower
18% lower
ARH 2" long tubes
100 octane tune via a toggle switch
A8 tuned
702rwhp / 740rwtq
Probably adding a lid and 5" intake this spring

yea it is overkill for the current goals but I’d rather spend it up front to allow for expansion if 800 ever gets boring. I built my ZL1 to 855 and then decided I wanted more 4 months later so I ended up changing some things to get 922. I’m glad I over built it so I only need a pulley swap instead of a bunch of things.

the triple works fine on standard injectors. for dfi you can run 6 pumps your still not going to be able to push the hpfp and the dfi paste their limits. I tend to research my builds for a specific power goal. I rarely go past that I will sell the car built the proper way then move to a different platform for a new build. 800 wheel on the street is a super sweet spot beats most everything and is uber reliable. with the cost of upgrading dfi for the modest gains you see its just not worth it. the port injection gives you all the flexibility you need without having to deal with tanks and multiple in tank pumps just my .02

Hijacking the thread. : )
Just bought an '18 Z06 manual. 93 is the most accessible around me so probably would just run that. Not looking to go crazy, not looking to add fueling or meth. Wondering where I'd get with:
Upper and Lower Pulley
Intake
2" Headers to catted xpipe system (tired of the wife complaining about the smell of catless)
Tune
I'm thinking mid to high 600s rw?

pick your poison either upper or lower pulley not both. your just overspilling the blower at that point making huge heat but not power. catted downpipes and catless xpipe will run about 750$ use the money saved by not spending 2500 on headers andcatted x pipe for cooling mods.

you get a much better belt wrap on the lower pulley since your going bigger not smaller so the wrap increases. size should be based on your build goals and the amount of boost you want to see. as for the upper the pulley needed to properly remove the oem pulley isnt cheap or you risk damaging the pulley. the new hub is a slip fit so ideally you need to remove the snout (requires the blower to come off) heat the pulley freeze the shaft and slide it on. so no not really any easier than the lower crank pulley
