sick car on the dyno
I am sure you guys know this, but from Motortrend's article:

Beware Tuners...
Hot-lapping the ZR1 makes it hard to imagine owners feeling the need to add power to this setup, but you know it will happen. And it won't be hard. Hack the engine-control chip to run more boost with slightly higher engine or supercharger revs and the power will come. But the team cautions that any additional power will drive temperatures up dramatically resulting in spark retardation unless a larger cooling circuit is installed, along with a taller intercooler poking through the hood and blocking the clean sight lines. Durability is also likely to suffer. As it is, to keep from blowing the heads off the team switched to four-layer gaskets, strengthened the heads, and fitted larger bolts torqued for 25 percent higher clamping loads.

I am about 30-35 degrees over ambient at 9psi.
These new generation blowers are so much more efficient than the MP112s it's amazing.
