It's just like C6 base owners wanting to get the power to keep up with Z06....samething here....a base C6 will NEVER be a Z06, and a Z06 will NEVER be a ZR1....
spending alot of money on a Z06 to get it to hang with ZR will net a lot of money spent still owning a Z06.....
IMO just join the club if that's what you seek....

Could always add the electric water pump and under drive pulley for a little extra hp, but all those bolt on mods start to add up in price. A simple cam & headers package from any reputable tuner will smoke a stock ZR1, and at a better price point. But if you don't want to open the engine, a blower seems like the better option IMO.
But if he has the money I would just buy a A&A Vortech Supercharger Kit for $6500 Installed/Tuned then be on the hunt for modded ZR1's

The obvious answer to the OPS post since we can't touch the engine or engine, is a Supercharger running 7 lbs of boost.

Add Rpm purpose build 4.10 gears for C6 Zs like the fastest bolt on car and I would say your pretty darn close (if you know how to drive good) and have sticky tires.

But yes DR's are a must if your going to do Drag Racing with those mods, if your just going to do Roll Racing then NT05's should get the job done

So sad you like to go by that race when you know very well it was not a clean race. But hey your only lying to yourself.
If you are so sure about the race why didn't you run again with the headers and short throw on. Headers without a tune is only good for maybe 10hp?

You know im moded now so you want to talk smack. But you want to start $h*t then I will put my car back to stock will do three runs for 5k best two out of three will take 10k home plus all the smack talking you want to do on the forum with video in both cars.
Let me know all I need to do is take the car back to the shop to take everything off.

I know the E-Force meets the various emissions requirements(CARB) but I don't think the A&A does(but not sure). I see the OP is north of the Border, so I don't know how they view emissions.

How about the A&A kit and 650 rwhp? Should leave the ZR1 no problem in a display of speed!

Tito if you want to go on the forums and act like none of it it true then that fine. Live in that lie and keep lying to yourself.

I agree that the A&A is a more effective method over an E-force. But, I have a PD blower on my Mercedes and I like the way it pulls at low RPM, thus if I were looking for an additional 152 HP for my Z06, I would pony up for the E-Force, but that's just my personal feelings, not necessarily the best choice for the buck.
I know the E-Force meets the various emissions requirements(CARB) but I don't think the A&A does(but not sure). I see the OP is north of the Border, so I don't know how they view emissions.

Certain looks no better than a Z06 plus it has a smaller motor with less MPG. Sorry don't want one! I like these ZR1 owners that are a legend in their own minds!

You want to come here talking smack and begging me to run you even before I got the car. I have no problem putting the car back to stock for 5k. Your not a gambler but im not taking off and getting the stuff put back on. On my dime.
I take my lost with no problem. I LOST THAT RUN. Now when do you want that remach? Or are you going to live with that only video of beating a ZR1 by a nose.

rematch?? no rematch, i dont give a rematch to people who cry after races.
i gave victory(red c6 z06) rematches because he didn't cry, and even Humpty a rematch because he didnt cry either. i even gave the black H/C Z06 a rematch as well!! if you would of acted accordingly i would have given you a rematch but as of RIGHT NOW, no rematch!!! who knows i may change my mind out at the spot!!!
see you out there

Just like a stock Zr1 will never keep up with my A&A Z-06 and I have half the cost of a ZR1 invested! Plus the average car owner see's no big deal about a ZR1. It's a mexisized ZO6 with too big of wheels.IMO
Certain looks no better than a Z06 plus it has a smaller motor with less MPG. Sorry don't want one! I like these ZR1 owners that are a legend in their own minds!
