BTW, new numbers on the car today.
565hp/532ft-lbs@wheels with 7.5psi of boost.

Any clue as to a price range yet?

Please contact SGC for pricing.

I'll check with Aaron, but it will be more out of curiosity than any realistic chance I would buy the set up. Other than a few reversible mods, I'm going to keep my 1990 stock.

Thanks for all the info on the project. You and everyone involved deserve a hand. =D>

Is this done with the stock compression? Was The head gasket replaced with a thicker one?

After reading this all I can say is holy cow!! That is almost doubling the out put of a LT5!!! to all the guru's of HP! Amazing results.

It makes me wonder what our motors would have been like in the newer chassis. That would be a sweet ZR-1 with all the advances in technology the C5's & C6's have. Tom

I don't know the answer to your question, but wanted to welcome you to the forum.

Hopefully 240ZTT will be back to let you know.

Well I would not want the giant rear end or Barbie looks of a C-5, and I'm still undecided about the C-6's integrated headlights. However, I see you point.

Hi Z Factor, I agree with you! I wasn't thinking of the body stlye although I should have said that. I actually had a picture in my mind of my 90 Z body sitting on a C5 or C6 chassis' technicial achievments. Sorry, my apologies to the stylists at corvette. I mean no disrespect to 5's & 6's, but I like my Z's boby style just fine.

Although those cars have the only fat a$#'s I've seen that I could like!

May I say this? Oh heck I'll say it..."Hail the King! Long live the King!"
I'm sorry my Z is new to me! Tom

Supercowboy, The Stage I turbo was done with stock comp. (11.0:1) and hg's just like yours and mine. I believe the only mods to the car prior to the turbos was p&p intake, headers & B&B exhaust. Then they finished the test by adding an Xpipe. Stage II will involve lowering the compression. I will be seeing Aaron next week and verify this info.

I believe they would remove the headers for some type of manifolds is my guess there.
Here are a couple of questions that I have;
Did they use bigger injectors?, What system are they useing to tune it with?, Are they using an fmu or not?, How many pounds of boost was this with? What kind of turbos are they useing?
