What do you guys think about this set up???

03 Z06
Borla
Kooks 1 7/8 headers off road 3x3 X
Vararam
Textrailia clutch
100-150 shot


Added mods:
PRC LS6 Stage 2.5 CNC Ported Heads

What kind of numbers am I looking at? I want to do a heads/cam and I think this would be a decent set up, but want some other opinions. Thanks.

It's hard to guess with nitrous

It looks like a good combination. The cam is moderate, but driveable; which is more important in my opinion. Nothing worse than installing an elephant cam and having it surge. That gets old really fast.

Just keep in mind, if you plan on using nitrous, try to aim for the highest compression you can. Nitrous LOVES high compression engines, and considering the PRC STG 2.5 are 64cc, I think you'll be okay. Depending on what you're looking to spend and what your goals are, it probably wouldn't hurt to have them milled a few thousandths - but at that point, you might as well build a new engine due to the flycutting you'll have to do.

What's the specs on that cam?
Mill them heads, man! Flycutting is cheap and easy... no reason not to do it.
So what traction mods are you doing? There's really no way to guess track times on an M6 car. And dyno numbers vary from one dyno to the next, even if they're the same brand. Not to mention dyno numbers are useless other than when tuning.

Cam is a 236/ 238 .601/.605 113LSA.

It looks to me like a car that'll dyno around 430-450rwhp on motor,..and roughly 580-610rwhp on a 150 wet shot.

MPH would be roughly 125-130mph.

Tens all day if you got your driving shoes strapped tight.
