help me to pull zo6 c6
exactly!! dude I've been THROWING money into my car steadily now for the past 2.5 years and I'm just now getting it to where i want it to be... I still have to get a rearend and shortblock... I spent a lot of money on my Th400 conversion because I went with good parts and I try to do everything I can the best I can because I hate doing it twice... Try to get a used procharger headunit, bracket/pulley system, go buy a FMIC kit, bypass valve, get some injectors, tuning, and some springs... That'll get you there for a while and then start tackling one part at a time.. that way it'll eventually get done and it'll motivate you to do more... Oh one more thing, DON'T COUNT HOW MUCH EVERYTHING COSTS... it'll **** you off...

A budget and forced induction just dont belong in the same sentence. You simply cant afford it. Reference the posts of the people that have done it and listen or you will just waste a lot of time finding out yourself, and then having to go a different direction and starting all over. 
I was bored and figured I'd help you out a bit by checking out the Classifieds section. Below are the links to the deals I found; one of the kits on there I've never heard of but as far as the APS & Gen TT Turbo kits go, just be aware of the fact that you'll need a bmr k-member. Thunderracing, Byunspeed and Exotic Performance Plus sell these as well as price match. I hope these links help you out in some of way and hopefully we'll see one of these kits installed onto your car. cheers

You can get into FI for less than $10k, but you still won't be able to beat a C6 Z06, let alone a Z06 with bolt ons (if I read your message correctly). I seriously doubt I could beat one in a roll race, and I have ALOT more than $7k in my car. Due to their superior aerodynamics and light weight, simply matching their hp won't be enough. I think they can easily get 550rwhp -600rwhp with bolt ons and a cam.
You have to remember that it will take more than just bolting on a supercharger or turbo. In order to do it right and run high enough boost, count on spending well north of $15k. Upgraded tranny, forged internals, fuel system, torque convertor, tuning, h/c, headers, blower/turbo, FMIC, labor, and tons of miscellaneous stuff.
My advice would be to go with bolt ons, torque convertor, cam, and a big shot of nos. Of course, your tranny will probably crap out on you at that point. Your motor could last for a while with a safe tune, but anything could happen when you factor in nos or FI.
Good luck.

A nitrous setup wouldn't be a bad idea neither, there are an *** load of kits for sale in the classified section and not to mention, you'd be able to get a sweet *** deal on an entire kit along with supporting components from the sponsors :coughNitrousoutletcough:.
If i was gunna take a alternative route to how I went about my turbo kit... i could have done a forged bottom end with a DIY turbo kit and been in the 600 area for 7k. This on my LT1. A couple corners would be cut but it would still work well.
But that leaves any chassis work still not done including rear end and tranny. But that would take care of the power problem. So 7k spent in the perfect spots will get you power. But requires a lot of personal work and leaves the rest the car to deal with the motor.

It'll get you the power, but like you said, you'd have to be cutting corners, and cutting corners cuts reliability/safety. The Camaro is his daily driver. If he has nothing else to drive (we don't know if he does or not) and something breaks because he bought a cheap part...where does that leave him?
Like the old and boring saying that was used above... Fast, Cheap, Reliable...pick two.
Just get into it slowly. Buy this, buy that, parts here and there at a time to slowly make power or build the car to handle the power first. For someone that can't type a complete sentence or has any idea what correct spelling/grammar is, I think going to ~300rwhp to ~600rwhp in one jump might be somewhat dangerous anyways

Okay I'll just come out and say it.
Your not dragging a C6 ZO6 with 7K in mods.
Even if you got the car to a point where theoretically on paper, you might be able to, the damn thing will probably grenade on you on the way up there or during the run.
There is a reason why those cars cost so much from the factory. Speed isn't cheap. I know Chevy has a lot of bang for the buck but god damn dude, get real.

If you are racing at a drag strip you will need a Good set of heads, 230+ duration cam, LS6 Intake or fast intake, 3500 stall 3.73 gear and 100-150 shot of nitrous should net you low low 11's or high 10's around 125 or better. That should outrun the average C6Z on the drag strip. However, if you are racing on the street from a roll you will need something probally with a 150 more Horsepower than the C6Z. Supercharger with 10lbs of boost or stroker with a small shot of nitrous. I advise you to keep saving if you want to beat one on the street and strip.
This guy did with nitrous and boltons, even the vett sprayed!
