We did a Z51 C6.

Mods installed....
Lingenfelter cold air
FAST 90
AFR 205's
TRAK cam
KOOKS long tubes, no cats
B&B bullets
taylor wires
pushrods
SLP crank pulley
Diablosport custom dyno session(one of 15)

and all my lovin'.....

477rwhp and 443rwtq.

Only other mods were coilovers, clutch, etc etc

Car was manual but, retained ALL driveability. Which I would have to give credit to all the dyno time invested into the car by Johan @ Diablosport. Awesome driveability.

Whats your goals man. Daily driver?...this vette was.

In that case..some low compression heads...a carefully chosen camshaft(depending on what he wants).....procharger and METH. Tell him to get an A&A kit for procharger... or something compairable.

WIth the right heads/cam/gear setup....he CAN go tens NA.

Very possible bro. Especially if it is NOT a daily driver.

Not a bad gear at all.

I personally like AFR's alot. Can't seem to go wrong with them. You could get a set of low compression versions... although the 205cc's would work great...you can alway go 225cc. I heard that the new DART heads are pretty badass but, I personally don't have any experience with them.

I'd get the FAST intake, port the stock TB unless somthing comes out that better, long tubes(would get KOOKS or LG motorsports)..depending on emissions, I'd try and go no cats on the X pipe...and a good bullet catback.

He's an auto right?....so he should probably look into a stall/converter. The camshaft bro,...if it was me...i'd go as radical as I could go but, that isn't for everyone. See what he wants. I know you said it wasn't a daily driver so, he'll probably want something somewhat beefy, although you don't have to go crazy with boost.

The "camquide" here is very helpful. Check it out when you get a chance...it'll help on the decsion making.

soo..

blower kit,
FAST 90/90
injectors(probably come with the blower kit)
fuel pump(probably comes with the blower kit)
AFR/DART/etc etc heads(you can order something with low compression, or you could always leave the heads alone, as in buy the AFR's, and just change his compression by changing the pistons and rods)
LG long tubes and X pipe
crank pulley(i'd wait for the blower purchase for this, as they'd probably want to "key" the crank)
proper camshaft...
pushrods(should come with cam)
Dual valve springs for a high lift cam
converter
gears, he's got.
DTE strut brace.
Hardened out put shaft(maybe already installed with the gears)
catback(I like B&B bullets)
Meth injection...
and a great tune(which should be included with the blower install).
Lets not forget some tires.

DaMN. I need to smoke a cig,....and I don't even smoke.

This is just some basic info bro...for a pretty fast car. I may have missed a few things....but,...i'm the wrong peron to ask, when it comes to automatic vettes bro,....I have no real experience with them.

See ya.

My bad man. I'm self proclaimed retarded. Possibly ADD as wel...do you wanna ride a bike. Whoops..sorry. There it is again.

Well...just dismiss the trans stuff...shoot right for the POWA!!!

I think A&A is a sponser right?

Anyone else have any BOOST recommendations? Any blower guys in the bunch?

I would highly suggest getting a set of lower compression heads and putting an ATI blower on. On stock heads we made 500 rwhp and 500 rwtq. Please give us a call if we can help you with anything.
