Make your own ZR1?
A better question would be how does the ZR1 compare to a modded Z06? I know there are mods other than power, but at least you start with a better platform and wider tires with a Z06 compared to an LS3 coupe.
The ZR1 S/C will give some amazing low end TQ, but a set of headers and a good cam puts the Z06 performance up there in the 4000 - 7000 rpm band where races are won and lost. Of course, its not 50 state legal like a ZR1.

Well, how bout the Z51 performance option, that is good for .98 on the skid pad. You have slotted roters with it too. The ZR1 is just over kill. Your only going to see a few hunderd or maybe a thousand or two. My point of this thread is for the price of a supercharger, and maybe a few other mods you will be in ZR1 territory.

I would have no problem hang'n at high speed with the ZR1.
BTW, I have all the supporting suspension and brake mods too, just need to figure out what FI route to go.
I would post up some pictures but is in paint at the moment.

Blownvette, you might want to check out some oiling systems if you haven't at least gone to a modified LS7 Drysump system with a better pan design. just 1.0g lateral will have you blow an engine in a very short amount of time if you don't pre-empt it

Verdad Gallardo I won't have any problems pulling 1G in a turn especially with some sticky rubber. Car has Pfadt coil over and competetion sways, VBP poly bushings, moog and spicer ball joints, VBP HD tie rod ends.
I'll be running 305/19/30's and 345/19/30's PS2's on the street. Once I get every thing sorted out I'll look into a 18" package for high performance runs.
My track will be 4" wider in front and 6" in the rear.
Thanks for the advice.

I've heard good things on the accusump as well. I didn't know your intention as that determines the severity. I look forward to the end of your body mods, especially how your fitting 345s, as I can't run a tub, I'm digging the pics.
There are a few pictures in post #27 above. All the panels and roof are apart for painting.
It's probably going back together soon. I'll have to drop ACP an email and check on it.
I travel alot for a living and I am in Minnesota at the moment.
Thanks.
