With tune, CAI, pulley swap and idler pulley the GT500 motor can make 550 rwhp. Add Kook's long tubes, off road X-pipe, and a 75 shot and your in the 660 rwhp range.

Hey all, sorry I only get a chance to log on about 5 mins a day. I should have said a pulley swap too....the stage 2 is basically what I've heard is needed to hang with a C6Z ...plus gears. I'm going to go with the Evolution stage 2 eventually.
I don't think I want to swap out the Eaton for a TVS, KB, or Whipple to try to keep it somewhat close to stock....so the stage 2 is the way to go for me. Oh yea, I should add LCAs again too...cause this thing hops around like a jackrabbit from a dig.
+1 but in the longer vid the red termi (rdsnake maybe?) i think maybe pulled a little on the vette or stayed right beside it up to 160+. thats a bad terminator.
A little off topic, but I posted an offer on the Corvette Forum offering up a free flight lesson to anyone in my area that had a cammed Z06 and was willing to take me for a ride. I got a guy to respond (actually 2) who has an '08 with the cam package from the place I want to get mine from (http://www.thevettedoctors.com/). He's running a bigger cam then the one I was looking at , plus he has milled heads for 12:1 compression and upgraded rockers: 570 rwhp. He is coming by in two weeks. This way I can check out how it drives. He also had coilovers and a sway bar. I bet it is going to make me hate my car, but I have to see what it's like. I bet it is going to haul ass.
That GT500 should've taken that vette with that amount of horsepower, My car which has a kenne bell with a 15 pound pulley and making 552hp took on a stock z06 not too long ago and won. I have a vid on it I'll posted on youtube when I go back home for the summer.

Ed,
I know it would be a hike for you. However if you ever want to see a lot of VetteRx cars, you have to come down to Captree State Park on a Sunday morning. There are tons of cars from that shop there. Most of the guys are freindly and if you were there with your Z06 I'm sure you could get a ride or two from some of them.
Dave

Thanks, Dave. I might do that one weekend. As for now, I'll take the ride in this dude's car. Another guy is going to swing by next week and actually let me drive his Katech car. That should be fun too.
Damn, to drive a cammed Z06, that would be awesome!!!!!! Have fun Ed!!!!
Well, before I drop the coin, it will be nice to see what it feels/drives like. I have a feeling that the car is going to be severly traction limited. 570 rwhp is a car that light? I can only imagine.
Honestly, I think it is more of an ego thing. Does one really needs that much power, considering the weight of the car? I am interested in the sound though. I bet it sounds mean as hell.
ED, im suprised you asked the question "does anyone need that much power".....wow just wow you should know there is never enough power.
Honestly, for a street car that doesn't have an all out drag suspension, there is a point where it just becomes "useless power". 570 - 600 rwhp may not sound like a ton to you guys, but consider the Z06 has IRS and weighs 3150 pounds or so. Gonna be hard to plant that.
