He was telling me about how his friend in orlando has already started custom fabing a twin turbo kit for his new Z and by next week he will have around 700 to teh wheels. Since he only lives about an hour from my house he invited me up to see it. So i have planned to go next weekend. He also has 3 vipers 2 of which are supercharged. He said well have some fun you can drive all my cars and tell me which one you liek teh best. He said hes got a total of 9 so im exited. I will deff gets some pics of that Z06 though and post them as soon as i get back.

Pretty impressive considering nobody has cracked the code to the stock PCM yet. If this guy isn't full of ****, he might be running an aftermarket computer.

The stock computer has been cracked/modified by at least 2 folks (LPE and Ed Wright). The other software (HPT,EFI,LS1E) just isn't in the hands of the masses yet/is still under development...

not to kill anyone's dreams here, but if a ls7 car didn't make 850-900rwhp on low boost i'd be disappointed. A big cam and a 150shot will do over 700rwhp when tuned.. HPE Prooved that untuned it'll do 700rwhp...700 to the tire just doesn't impress me, your friend is falling short. Now 1000rwhp, that would be fun...

I wonder who it is in SFL?

Agreed, 700 to the wheels on boost would be weak. 700 to the wheels on 'a shot' is part time power...that's only impressive when the trigger is pulled. I'm not a nitrous fan, but that's not the point. You want a grand on the pavement? LPE put together a TT427 in a C6 that made 1038 to the ground
