Yep. We are about dead even when I do not have a passenger in the car.
Myself, another z06, and RC are going to go three wide, on Drag Radials to see who comes out ahead.
Going to be fun.

After watching your vids I kinda wish I had picked up a c6z. I thought those vipers would have pulled you hard. Even if I put a blower on and make mid 600s I still won't be able to keep up with a cammed z. 8.0l v10 fail.

Look for Nine Ball's build on the Viper Forum...he gives a pretty good summary of why this happens, and what he had to do to fix it. The Paxton on a stock Gen III engine makes good peak numbers, but they don't make it until the very end of the RPM range, so when they go to shift, the power falls way off. The simple solution is to add boost, but then you are looking at building an engine and a fuel system, and that ain't cheap. That's when a lack of forged internals really starts to show its ugly face.

I agree NineBall's Viper was built perfectly.
Boost level, transmission ratio, Compression, Cam its running as Blown Viper should be.

Not too many gen IV races available on YouTube specially the moded ones with ported heads.
