Not sure, but it's got a pretty big turbo on it and it made 700+ rwhp on the dyno there.

I kept the rear diff stock for now. I might upgrade over the winter.

I would at least put on a diff brace like the DTE or ECS one to increase your chances of saving that nice trans in the event that the diff busts.

Nope. Ran great when I went in. Only problem was it wasn't fast enough for me. LOL.

I wasn't planning on doing the heads originally but when they were taking the old springs off to put the new ones on, the installer noticed a little air leaking through the head. I honestly wasn't even aware since it wasn't that bad, but figured I might as well take them off, have them fixed, and make the most out of it by having them ported.

All Z06's come with a 6 speed manual transmission from the factory.

Lol. I wouldn't know how to respond to that question in a docile manner.

With all the breathing upgrades, I can't understand why you didn't get the fast 102 once and for all. The cost is negligible when you consider the amount you are spending on the entire project. I see you upgrading that ls6 intake in the near future.
It appears to be a solid build.

I was supposed to give my FAST 102 something to work with this summer, ie: bigger cams, but vacations take precedence.

Yea the intake is going to be the choke point on the car. How big a cam are you going with?

Over revving it would be my best guess

Well.... More good and bad news to post I guess...

ARP head bolts are on back order, which was a pretty big curve ball. After making call after call, trying to find ANYONE who had a set, I came in contact with a company called "race-mart" who said "we have one set on our shelf".

I was relieved, but paid $85 to get them 2 day shipped to the shop. I went down to the shop today, only to find out that they werent there. I called race-mart and asked them what the deal with it was, since they bent me over on shipping (apparently head bolts weigh 16lbs), and with no surprise, they are also on back order and "not on the shelf anymore".

They really fucked me over. I would have just ordered head studs from SDPC on Tuesday night if I would have known this so they would have been there today.

Well anyways, good news is I got something coming, but the bad news is, the progress was a little delayed.

I had a horrible experience with Race-Mart. I would advise anyone to stay away, because its a joke. I called and asked them to check and see first hand if they had one in stock, and not go by the computer to avoid this whole ordeal. They didnt even call to let me know.

I dont know why dude thought a Z06 came in auto but of course they dont.

Sure a FAST intake would gain about 20-25 whp over the LS6 with those mods but at $1300 its something that can always be done later. With all the stuff being done the car WILL still pull hard. I could really use a FAST on mine but dont feel like shelling out the cash.

I cant imagine you paid the extra shipping if they didnt ship your order, or did they?

When I called then Tuesday night, I asked I they had it in stock. They said they had 1 left so I said I would take it and I wanted it to be 2 day air'd fronthwir warehouse to the shop so it would be there today. Regular shipping was $20, but since I wanted it shipped there Friday it was $85. You can't ship something you don't have though.
