These are trap estimates for a good driver in good air with a stock weight c6Z
Stock 126-129
tune/cai/headers 130-132
cam 133-136
head work 134-138
nitrous 140+

Used exhaust $1200 to $1500
headers- stock( port ur own).
DVs( $ 200 new)
V flow( used- $450 to $500)

About the V-flow, does it help? I've been wanting something for more flow but it seems as if nothing is worth the money or even really all that beneficial. I'm trying not to add power but it's so tempting. I would rather focus on the handling. But a v-flow, port, DV, fpr doesnt sound too bad.
Since you have tried one of everything how about a ten page report on every mod you have done to your car.
j/k
but you can tell me about your suspension.

I think I have heard some not so good things about those turbos. I may be mistaken though.

When I was finished my Z had and intake, tune, headers, cam, race clutch and much more. 565 rwhp (est. 650 at the crank). Nobody every touched me from a roll. From a dig, I could foul up the launch rather easy. The stock clutch in the Z's really suck. I actually singed it stock.
TT are much more forgiving for a multitude of reasons.

Hmmm interesting, I would like to see some 60 to 130 times.

I have never owned a domestic, let alone a N/A car. I should have it within a few weeks and I'll get some comparative Driftbox numbers out of it on the same stretch I did the 5.9 on the GT2.

All the above is true when it was not in the shop. I think GM has fixed their oil pump issues, roof panels, rear half shaft breakage problem and many others. However, I was just disappointed in so many problems.
The clutch and the programming are actually designed to either reduce power or release (clutch) to reduce warranty claims (wear and tear on drivetrain).

I actually like the Z06. I've considered getting one myself a few times. You can't deny it's capabilites.
Definitely let us know how it goes with runs, as I'm curious to see where it falls. The only modded Corvette time we currently have on our 60-130 list is a twin-turbo C5 Z06 (APS Turbo, no cats, stock muffler) that made 573 rwhp @ 9.5 psi and ran a 7.56 with 1 shift.
