Procharged C6 Z06

Nothing special really, except it's on only 4 pounds of boost.

Little procharger, meth, and headers. Before run was bone stock. Not even a CAI.

I have no idea what the customer wants to do. I did tell him a pulley swap could up it another 100 probably. The problem is going to be the little head unit. hehe.....little head unit.....

Only rev'ing to 6700rpm? Even the stock graph is shut down at the same limit. Why would you not use the factory limited 7k rpm redline?

Do you not see it nosing over? Why rev it higher when it's not making power? I have no desire to rev an engine higher than it's peak, or just past.

interesting setup choice, but pretty nice none-the-less for just a little exhaust and 4lbs + meth.

Because at the track you DO use that 7k rpm redline and you don't shift at peak power. Its just nice to see what the car makes through the whole powerband instead stopping once it peaks.
