Arrow **Most Powerful C7 Z06**

For now... and not by much...lol

But like we have been telling everyone. We are still in the R&D process. We worked with Nick at American Racing and installed a set of 2" headers with a 3X3 X-pipe and also one of our prototype race cold air induction systems and of course spent hours on dyno tuning. We are trying to go in steps and test different combinations so we know what parts to put together to offer the best packages in the near future. We are still at factory boost levels, 8lbs down low and peaks at 10lbs at the end of the pull. Here is a dyno graph from today.



Video of first startup. Reving engine to get all the grease and oils out of system. These cars usually smoke for a good 5 minutes after installing a system like this. It sounds awesome at WOT and will post dyno vids for everyone to hear tomorrow.



I think my guys started another post about a group buy so anyone interested in some 2" American Racing headers please do not hesitate to call the shop. We plan to be able to ship 10 sets out around Christmas/new year for a discounted price and FREE shipping. Please call and leave a deposit now so you will not have to pay full retail come 2015.

Forgot to post this at the beginning of the week on this board. Should have a higher quality video by next week.

How can it be the most powerful C7 Z06 when Vengeance Racing made 676rwhp 679rwtq 3days ago?

If you wanna be the most powerful for more than a couple days, how about a Nitrous Outlet kit?

Looks like nice power for stock boost and simple mods. I wonder how much headroom the stock supercharger will have with the more efficient LT5 engine.

I don't understand trying to claim the most power for a car that just hit the streets. The claim means nothing because 2 hours later another shop is going to beat it. Give it 6 months then start trying to claim your fame...

I know LMR will throw up some good numbers as time goes by.

I think this may be due to the fact that the people with enough money to pay the mark up on these cars when they first hit the show room are the guys with enough cash to get these shops R&D backed so the first one off and running will have a great advantage when gunning for business a little further down the road.

I understand the business side for R&D. I'm pointing out that Claiming most powerful the 1st week it comes out will change in a few hours...

We may understand that but maybe some of the rich folks don't.

Don't get it wrong. LMR has done a ton of wonderful things in the hobby. I am just pointing out some of the logic. It is cheap advertisement. We are talking about it after all.
