Welcome to the forum! 
Does it really stop snowing in Iceland long enough for you to drive the car for more than a few minutes? Just kidding!
The C5 Z06 is a great car, and the stock components will handle 500 RWHP without much trouble. If you go beyond that point you need to start thinking about beefing up the trans, rear end, and axles.
Post your questions in the C5 Z06 forum. There are a lot of smart guys in there to help you.

Thanks guys
yeah it works fine but i had some clutch problems this summer and that didnt help me alot getting good times at the drag strip lol.
On pump gas and 17.5 psi i only got 12.047@126.40mph
and best trap was 130mph on 22.5 psi boost
Hope to have everything sorted out for next summer and then aiming for low 10´s @ 140+mph on highboost(30+ psi)
it weighs about 3680lbs with me in it.
