I don't have the Z07 package but I have the 402 set up and it's everything I wanted it to be and more. I was told I would put down 475-485rwhp/465-475rwtq on 91 Octane and a vey mild cam. I ended up putting down 499rwhp/496rwtq! I also paid way less than 20K for my set up. I hope this helps.

A very good friend of mine has the Z07 package, and I cant think of words to describe it.....******* SICK! I recently watched it lay down 560rwhp on our low reading Superflow dyno! The car runs easy 130mph trap speeds and has enough power to lay waste to ANYTHING on the road. We've been hunting for a chump in an Enzo to tear up for months now...
By the way, it handles a 250 shot like nothing happened and proceeds to spin the DR's through the traps at 148MPH!, while spraying only 4th gear!
Did I mention its ******* SICK?!?!
Im not sure about the pricing, I thought it was about $15000. I believe his was the first car they did with the Fast 90/90 setup, and it was the most powerful car they had done (hydraulic roller) to that point, about 2 years ago. Either way, go for it if you've got the cash...or even if you gotta rob a bank!
Oh, does that price include a C5R block, cause he did break the LS6 block, and had to go back for the C5R, so I'd do that for sure.
Good luck with it!

This is a link to some vid's my brother posted featuring the blue 02 Z06. Check it out.
A more appropriate title would be 'Chaos and mayhem'.
The white car is my boy V-seriesTech's FRC, sick in its own right, but s l o w compared to the Z0.....lol.

It's like my boy marco says(talking about my cousin josh's Z07 packaged Z06)....."that car is like jesus coming down from the heavens"

I laughed my *** off when he said that.

The junkie is right, the car is just plain sick man. I've driven this thing on several occasions, it is, by far, the nastiest thing I have ever driven, regardless of power output. Junkie is right again about the C5R block, it is, well badass. Not cheap but, badass. He did have the LS6 block 427 conversion but, it ended up having a problem with I belive #2 cylinder and it's water jacket. I think a sleeve shifted or something. Regardless, MTI took care of the problem and at that time, my cousin upgraded.

It is the real deal, as mike(sprayjunkie) pointed out, it made 560rwhp RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY(a 1 hour trip) with NO fans BLOWING ON IT, and it made 560rwhp. Awesome. This dyno, is really a low numbers dyno,...as every car that hits it, makes less then anywhere else.

Anyways,....it truly is sex on wheels, and in my honest opinion, there isn't alot of cars that could roll up along side of this thing and throw it a challenge. It truly is amazing.

Then there's the 225rwhp shot.

Yeah,...nasty.

The car has obvious traction issues. It went 10.80s with a stock long block a couple years ago....Last time I saw it go down the track it was something like 10.95@148 mph.Did he say 148?
Yup.
148.
Did I mention as soon as the car hooked up in 4th gear, he sprayed it, which promptly lit the tires right back up, and was still spinning going through the traps!!!
As for the money, well it was money well spent. If he'd have done this before his first H/C/I setup, the turbo guys would be about even with him. And they'd still have a stock block. Gotta love the reliability and driveability provided by a big cube N/A motor.

The C5R, is the Corvette race car. The motor, in SOME Z07's, and the motor in the C5r and C6R is a 427ci big bore motor. Called the "C5R" . You don't have to sleeve it, like how you would the standard, LS1/LS6/LS2 motor to get the increased bore size. Hence, better reliability..etc etc.
