Smile Couple of new pics of my ZO6

Hey guys !!!

Weather was a little better this Friday so I took couple of crappy pics.
I still think it needs a little drop in the front.

Let me know what you guys think

Nice pics. What kind of camera are you using?

Whats the fastest you've had that bad boy up to?

Looks like your aerodynamic add ons should help stabilize the ride at speed, do they? Or more so for looks?

Doug actually the fastest I took the car after the add ons is 130mph so I really dont know if the aerodynamic is better or not..

Car is now N/A 8:5 comp (I sold the twin) so the car is very slow 340-360rwhp but I took 189mph before (top 5th gear)

Camera is Canon 400D

Thanks.

It was STS twin turbo the only 1/4 pass from the old owner was 11.4@132mph with 7-8psi (500-530rwhp).

Best dyno numbers 9psi 557rwhp 535rwtq and 701rwhp 669rwtq 16psi...

Thanks.

Yes any plans on running some larger turbos? Or a supercharger?

Why did you sell the turbos though? Must suck to drive a vette with that low of compression. Must feel like a dog in comparison.

Yes I'm actually still didnt decide F1C or 80mm Turbo
The turbo will need a lot of work since I need to move the radiator a little to the front to make some room..

Either way I really want 680-730rwhp on pump gas and 800+rwhp on the kill mode this will get me my 9sec pass

I sold the STS turbos for two reason

1- got a great deal.
2- little laggy for my taste. ( I dont mind a little lag but the turbos were too small + lag = its not really worth it..

but if I went with 80mm I'm sure I can get full spool around 3800-4000rpm and shift poing will be 6800-7000rpm will make a perfect street car


The car isnt that bad it really feels like a boltons C5 ZO6

You just need to put the turbos on the right end of the car where they belong ! TTix kit will MORE than satisfy you,no need to move radiator,no overheat problems,bolt on kit,power to spare and lag,nope ! Its almost too much for a street car on low(8psi) boost,on high,its downright dangerous ! 9 sec is achievable as you already know,with a good track and some driving.
If you were closer,I would take you for a ride,its all you will ever want.And yes,I may be biased but I HAVE driven a wide variety incl maggies/KB/Procharged and STS cars as well(they are less than 20 min away from me) Best of luck and keep us posted,I would be interested to hear feedback from you comparing the new setup to the old.

I love TTix kit but the reason why I'm thinking about the Hinson single turbo kit because I already have the frong mount intercooler / waste gate/ blow valve from the old STS setup I only need to buy the head unit and piping..

everything will be under $3000 - 3500max the TTIX kit $4500+ used..

I will keep everyone posted on the plans for sure thanks for the help..
