Performance Goals?
 
At LG our builds are tailored to the customer's wants and what is being done with the car. Road Racing 1/4 mile, 1/2mile I just want to get really scared when I floor it etc. For those who would rather click x-horsepower and be done with it I'm putting some packages together. Looking for feedback on the kind of power improvements you're looking for on your Z06's. We rarely talk crank horsepower around here but figure 20% drive train loss on an auto and 17% manual for wheel numbers. Why not tailor the packages to the customer base.

Guess I should've highlighted the part about looking for feedback on what some performance goals are?

I would go up in 50 or 100/200 increments from stock (TQ). That would make for some good packages to offer.

Headers and cold air alone we're seeing 30-40hp and 40-50tq dependent on set up. Everyone does the increments but I think I'm going to do it a little different and actually incorporate use into it. Stage 1 track that is a cold air, headers, drop spindles, sway bars, and brake duct cooling kit and then straight line packages that focus more on power and higher ones feature the 15in rear wheel conversion.

Probably something starting with just an exhaust for people who just care about sound, moving to maybe an exhaust, intake, and tune. Then full bolt ons. Then e85 + meth. (This is where I'm at now). And then now I'm currently looking at my next options: maybe heads + cam, or procharger builds?

I would just make packages in increments of 50-100whp.

All of our high horsepower builds are procharged, they don't make as much torque as roots style systems, but procharger produces the best "usable" power. My background is primarily german and italian vehicles so I'm itching to do some twin turbo stuff.

Seems like you would benefit from a stage style set up where the packages build on each other. (dinan is set up that way).
