Default '07 Z06: Is something wrong or missing with these mods?

I need help modifying my car. Well, I recently bought a 2007 Z06 (LS7) and so far it's all stock. Here are my plans on modding it in the future... It's in order...

- A&A supercharger with Vortech V-7 YSi-Trim Supercharger-polished
- 4.0'' supercharger pully
- 8 rib upgrade
- A&A Blower camshaft 232-240
- Kooks long tube headers
- A&A/All Pro cylinder heads
- Hurricane LS3 air intake kit
- Brembo 2005-2008 Corvette Z06 Front 6-Piston 15" Brake System

What do you think needs to be changed? Is this a good order? What do you think the performance would be? 1/4 mile times predictions?

Nice short list...might want to plan a motor in the near future. You would be able to make the most of those mods.
I dont think you can run a Huricane intake w the A&A kit....I could be wrong though as Im not up on the super current stuff.

That's a good 20k out the door. Do you have experience driving 550-600whp cars? The car should go low 10s with a great driver on a tire.

If you plan on drag racing the car, you're going to need wheels and drag radials. You're also going to need a clutch, axles, and a trans brace.

Don't need the heads or intake. You can do heads if you really want but I would leave them stock. Add a clutch and maybe some drivetrain parts. No point in running a Ysi on a stock motor or with a 4.0" pulley. Just get a Si or T trim until you build the motor. If you want all that stuff look into a fuel system too.

i have A&A kit on my 07z06 with out a cam upgrade and i ran a 10.3 and i cant drive the car for nothing LOL u will def need a clutch, this was brought to my attention after installing my setup so i had to spring for a clutch too... i put the RPS Twin Carbon with aluminum fly wheel and i must say drivability totally sux but it can take the abuse... the only thing i would change is the kooks headers to American Racing.

Don't forget to pick up some 19" front wheels before you do the 15" Brembos. Make sure the manufacturer knows what brake kit you are using. No way will the 15" kit fit the stock wheels.

You will need a forged motor or a 5 Gallon bucket.

If you want that big of a build, you might as well just do the motor while you're at it.
