Already been spending a ton of time on the C7 Z06 forum finding out as much as I can about the engine, and basically 800 WHP is almost unachievable on the stock blower without going crazy. Look at Tommy, he's on bolt ons/cam/heads/e85 at 770 WHP, and probably going to be impossible to break 800 without NOS or a new blower.
Now a 2.9 Whipple swap will take care of said issues. 
I myself, am more than happy with a basic bolt on setup like this HPE750 package. Plenty of power for the street and a few strip nights. |
That's really good info, ty. I plan on tracking my car as often as I am able to, so I do need to keep my car as compliant as possible to keep my warranty intact as long as possible (lol). But eventually I will get used to the power and will feel the need to add a little more...then a little more...
It is interesting that you brought up NOS. I have to admit that I played with it quite a bit when I was younger...and I thought about it on the ZL1. Do we know how well the stock LT4 gets along with NOS? I have not really seen anything about that.
