Default Which setup for my z06.

I need help deciding here, so i am going to ask what you guys think, should i stay with the 408 i got and keep spraying it??, or should i build a 427, Ls7 headed solid roller (600rwhp possible n/a), or should i do a freshen up on my 408, make it low compression, put a&a's new ysi vortech kit on it 800+rwhp potential. this is not a daily driver, this going to be one of the really fast cars for no reason deals, weekend toy pretty much.

really depends on your wallet and if you can tolerate filling bottles. n/a your car will be capped at that max hp level.

I vote Twin Turbo.

I agree, 408 low compression with a turbo setup.

i am voting....it depends...

if i had a Zo6 i would love to go TT...but i dont have the cash...

so it would either be a D1sc 346...

or the 427 option with spray for insurance...

in all honestly the 427 would eat damn near anything on the street...and if by chance something was pesky enough to hang with you or win....out comes the spray. set it up for multiple stages up to a 250 or 300 shot and 800 rwhp on the spray.

Just a thought.

You could alway buy my Z06.427,tnt f-2 Nitro Dave fuel cell and a whole bunch of other goodies.

Should run a nine as is,even have a set of CCW's with new slicks that go with it.

Outch!!!! What clutch where you using? Andy's kit will work wonders-got for it-cause all the bugs have been worked out and it's a clean install.

comming from a twin turbo vette owner...if youre not HARDCORE dont do it, its so tight. do the blower if youre content with sub 600 rwhp. honestly. tti kit, great...but damn its tight, its a pain to do anything...except for plug and oil changes, those are still ok hahaha.
