This will be my car's second trip to Nickey. They added a good deal of power the last time my car was there. Everybody has different goals for their cars and mine is coming 1 visit to Nickey at a time.

The Z will get Mickey's on the rear. I'm just wondering how hard it will be to get them to hook. Just have to practice practice practice.

I've made 7 passes with mine and completely embarrassed myself with 5 of them over 13. It's not easy!

My best all stock (including tires) time was 12.5 @ 116 MPH with a 2.1 60 foot.

Cool. Sounds like a great package then. The new list only had a few power mods so I was concerned if you really wanted to see 700rwhp you would need more.

The Z already has

Airaid MXP Series Cold Air Dam Intake System
RX Catch Can
Metco 2.50" Supercharger Pulley
Metco LSA Solid Isolator Coupling
100mm Supercharger Idler and Belt
Injector Dynamics ID850 Fuel Injectors (8)
Thermostat changed to 160
Kooks 2" Long Tube Headers
Tuned by Nickey

Do you think that won't be enough? What else would you recommend?

should get a heartbeat blower, or do a 427 swap. Remember these cars are heavy.

The NicKey Stage I kit along with our Stage I cam puts us right at 700rwhp on pump gas with a very safe level of boost.

I think anything that gets you over 700HP at the end of the day is a good idea. Do it, and good luck!

Noticed your time. Was that all stock? I'm having issues too with my car only running 12.81 @113 mph. Had the car for almost two months. It was my first time out. How did u get it out of the box?
